There are comeback stories, and then there’s this one.
In Yin Yang, Elan Skis follows Bode Barrett through the kind of injury most skiers do not come back from. He suffered a devastating back-breaking crash in 2024, followed by a long and grinding road to recovery. The film is not flashy or over-produced. It is raw, real, and exactly the kind of ski storytelling that hits deeper than a highlight reel.
Bode’s honesty is the hook. He talks openly about the accident, the recovery, and the identity crisis that comes when skiing gets ripped away. The film does not shy away from the dark parts, but it also does not wallow. Instead, it builds toward that first turn back on snow, that moment every injured skier dreams about, and captures it with real weight.
Visually, Yin Yang blends understated mountain shots with close and personal moments. It is not a ski-porn banger. It is a character piece. You watch Bode find balance again, literally and figuratively, and the skiing that does appear in the film hits even harder because of everything he had to rebuild to get there.
It is a reminder of why we ski in the first place and how easily it can all change.
