Snow Jury of ECHO #17 / 2026

We present to you the members of the jury for the best ski/snowboard film:

Sanja Spasovska - former representative of the Macedonian snowboard team, a passionate lover of mountains and nature, and a snowboard instructor. She started skiing at an early age, then switched to snowboarding, and fell in love with the sport on her first descent, which later became a way of life for her. She has achieved remarkable results in international competitions, as well as in the World Cup, in slalom and giant slalom disciplines. After her professional career, she dedicated herself to training new talents and conditioning future snowboarders.

Marko Darkov - An all-around lover of mountains and nature, snowboarder, mountain guide, and driver. Born and raised at the foot of Mount Baba, he began engaging in winter sports from a young age, with snowboarding being the one that captivated him the most. He has participated in international competitions as part of the Macedonian freestyle team, and later worked as a coach and judge.

Kristijan Arsovski – mountain guide, outdoor photographer, videographer, and passionate athlete. Connected to the mountains from an early age, he naturally found his way into mountain guiding and freeride guiding. His passion, both behind and in front of the lens, spans a wide range of mountain disciplines – from ultra-trail running and mountain biking to a growing dedication to and ambitions for mountaineering too. Now, he will bring his personal mountain experience, keen visual eye, and love for the wilderness to the role of jury member for Best Snow Sports Film at our festival.

Each year, we have exceptionally high-quality films on this theme, and this year is no different. We know they will have a tough job – and we thank them.
