While I’m currently trying to forget the 2014/15 ski season ever happened thanks to record-breaking low snowfall totals, it’s hard to get excited for next year’s crop of ski movies. However, the trailer for “Migrations” from Salt Lake’s own Stellar Adventure Media, pretty much threw me out of my funk and made me want to click back into my bindings.
Stellar Adventure Media is the “brain child” of skiers Will Wissman and Reggie Crist. Their biggest effort to date, “Migrations,” is described as “an ongoing documentation of the relentless pursuit for perfect conditions. Traveling long distances is a matter of survival for some animal species, however for the adventurous human it is a way of life. All creatures are connected by a natural impulse to search, discover, and live. For in the end, we must all follow our instincts. The inevitable change in season presents new opportunity for discovery and if we listen closely to Mother Nature, then we may just find ourselves in the right place at the right time.”
There isn’t much more info about the “Migrations” series, other than the trailers. In it, pro skiers like Colter Hinchliffe, Lynsey Dyer, Lexi DuPont, Sam Cohen, Leo Ahrens, Jacqui Edgerly, Thayne Rich, Wyatt Caldwell, Yancy Caldwell, Vanessa Aadland, Hayden Price, Kalen Thorien, and Tony Rossi, travel the world to ski big lines and immerse themselves in exotic cultures and otherworldly landscapes. The photography and editing (and of course the skiing) all seem top notch and I look forward to watching it when it is released.
Until then, enjoy the new trailer:
