AKASO at Tell A Friend Tour: Connecting with the Next Generation of Skiers

03/15/2026

This winter, AKASO joined the Tell A Friend Tour, a nationwide ski community initiative led by freestyle skier Andy Parry

Spanning 16 stops across the United States from February 1 to March 1, the tour brought together young skiers at local mountains—creating an open and inclusive space for progression, creativity, and community.

A Community-Driven Ski Movement

The Tell A Friend Tour is built around a simple idea: make skiing more accessible, more social, and more fun—especially for younger riders.

Each stop welcomed around 100 participants, primarily kids and teenagers, giving them the opportunity to:

Ride together in a low-pressure environment
Learn and progress at their own pace
Connect with a like-minded community

More than an event series, it reflects a growing culture where skiing is both a sport and a shared lifestyle.

Bringing 360 Capture to the Slopes

As part of the collaboration, Pparticipants had the opportunity to experience AKASO action cameras in real skiing environments, both through giveaways and hands-on use during the events.

Throughout the tour, AKASO products were used to capture:

Park sessions and progression moments
Group runs and shared experiences
First-time tricks and personal highlights

The 360 format allowed users to focus less on camera setup and more on the experience itself—capturing everything and shaping the story afterward.

Why AKASO Supports Tell A Friend Tour

AKASO’s participation goes beyond product visibility.

By being part of an initiative led by Andy Parry, the brand steps into a space where skiing is shaped by community, creativity, and the next generation of riders.

Supporting the Next Generatio

Today’s young skiers are also emerging content creators.

With accessible tools like AKASO 360, they can:

Capture their own progression
Share their perspective
Create content naturally as part of the experience

Connecting with Real Communities

Events like Tell A Friend Tour offer something unique: direct interaction with real users in real environments

Instead of staged content, AKASO engages with riders where the experience actually happens—on the slopes, with friends, in motion.

Embedding Into Ski Culture

Skiing is community-driven, and credibility comes from presence.

By supporting grassroots initiatives, AKASO becomes part of the culture by:

Showing up in real environments
Supporting grassroots ski communities
Contributing to the experience itself

Creating Content That Reflects Real Use

Each stop on the tour generates authentic, unscripted moments.

These are the scenarios where action cameras are truly used—and where meaningful content is created.

By being part of these moments, AKASO helps ensure that what gets captured reflects real experiences, not staged productions.

Looking Ahead

Through initiatives like Tell A Friend Tour, AKASO continues to connect with communities in meaningful ways—supporting not just how people capture their experiences, but the environments where those exper
