Cue the “Inspo”
Sometimes you just need raw, unadulterated awesome.
That’s especially true during the Western summer, when just looking outside can make you sweat. But get this: We’re less than 60 days and 60-ish degrees away from snowmaking season. In order to make it to the summer finish line, we saved a few of the clips, flicks, and bits that are getting us stoked to go skiing. Cheers!
The GOAT
Candide being Candide.
Did you know French skier/videographer Candide Thovex put down the first clearance of Utah’s Chad’s Gap back in 1999? Turns out that was only the beginning…
ICYMI: Nexus
Last October, we hosted the world premiere of Nexus right here in Golden. Skied, produced, directed, and filmed by women skiers, it blasted into ski towns a year ago and unanimously rocked the house. What’s next for the Nexus crew? A September trip to London for a ski movie premiere British-style.
TGR: Legend Has It
Teton Gravity Research has been inspiring winter exploits for 28 years now. Their newest work, Legend Has It, dives into legendary tales (and plenty of harrowing lines) across British Columbia, Alaska, Jackson, Colorado, and Pakistan. Don’t miss a premiere this fall!
Oh Yeah: The FIFTY
Forget where Cody Townsend left off in his quest to ski North America’s fifty classic descents? Here you go.
Good, Clean POV
If you haven’t seen him slaying spines or stomping pillows, meet PNW-based Lucas Wachs. He has skied for Matchstick Films, Level 1, personal projects, friends’ project, and so on. This month, he dropped some characteristic footage to help get us through the dog days.
Pond Skimming Yearbook
For POWDER, Colorado-based photographer Jeff Cricco chased some hair-brained skiers into the backcountry to snap some serious alpine pond skimming. Because ski season never truly ends!
