Lupe | The Story of Professional Freeskier Lupe Hagearty | X Games

Lupe Hagearty (@lupe860), a household name in the professional freeski world, provides an intimate look into his life and decade-long ski career in this acclaimed documentary film.
Lupe has always had to hustle for everything in his life. After his mother passed suddenly when he was 5 and his father battled addiction, he and his sister struggled to make ends meet. When his extended family took him skiing in Vermont to escape life at home, he fell in love with the sport.
Now 30 and living in Salt Lake City, Lupe has had a successful career as a pro-skier for over a decade, filming with legends Tanner Hall and Tom Wallisch and competing in X Games Real Ski in 2021. But the challenge is far from over. Despite living out his dream, Lupe still struggles to have the financial security to one day have a family of his own, grinding each year to renew sponsorships and continue living out his dream.
As the Christmas holidays approach, he travels home to his family in Hartford, CT, confronting his difficult past and reflecting on his career, trying to figure out what is next...

Luke kept distraction and FOMO at bay for three years, working from 18 to 21 to save enough money to move from the East Coast and pursue his skiing. He was astonishingly independent and professional, helping build my business and client relationships with totally bare bones used equipment because it was all I could afford at the time. I took a chance on him at 18 and he provided great value to my busines with uncanny fortitude and patience and top quality work product.

Super inspirational film!! We need more people in action sports sharing their stories, especially their hardships! Tanner said it so well pro skiers are not normal but are so driven by their passion to ski! Lupe will never stop 🙌❤

[@ScottKlumb]

Proud to have worked with you over the years Lupe and it's great to hear you get vulnerable and open up. I am glad you have found your passion in life that makes you happy!

[@BCtrapcat]

Love you Lupe
Edit: Have to come back and say how big of a force Lupe was in my teenage years. He gave me motivation at a time when I could not motivate myself.
Thanks dude.
