You know fall is near when ski movie trailers are being released left and right. Well this week, our Friday Video is a preview of the new backcountry ski film, “Elevation,” from Utah’s own Powderwhore Productions.

Friday Video: Colorado Trail Race 2013
The video, “Colorado Trail Race 2013,” is an inspiring look at what it might be like to ride your mountain bike from Denver to Durango on the Colorado Trail. I’m talking 70,000 feet of climbing over 550 miles and it’s all self supported. A very good friend of UtahOutside.com, Mike DeBernardo, participated in this year’s…
Sweetgrass evokes the ’70s in new Valhalla trailer
I’m going to come out and just say it – Sweetgrass Productions is making the most creative and different, no, wildly different ski movies ever. I know some people think they’re too artsy and slow, but at least Sweetgrass isn’t afraid to tear open the box that most ski movie companies confine themselves to. And…
Friday Video: Sailing the Great Salt Lake and Bear Lake
When you think of sailing, images of smooth ocean water, California beaches or World Cup races over torrent waters may come to mind. Utah most definitely doesn’t come into the equation. But there is actually a surprisingly large number of lakes and reservoirs in Utah where you can not only sail, but find world-class sailing…
Friday Video: I-Street with Carston Oliver
The I-Street dirt jumps in Salt Lake City have been the source of controversy, and are even being threatened by possible construction of water tanks. But these homemade dirt jumps have caught world-wide attention from professional bike riders and filmmakers. That’s why this week’s Friday Video is “I-Street with Carston Oliver.” The video is a…
Friday Video: Canyoneering Leprechaun Canyon
If you haven’t tried canyoneering a slot canyon in Southern Utah, then you have no idea on what kind of fun you’re missing out on. Of course if you are claustrophobic, then you’ll beg to differ. But I love canyoneering so much, I was thrilled to see that an entire episode of KSL Outdoors was…
Friday Video: Weak in the Knees
Maybe it’s withdrawals from skiing, but this week’s Friday Video is, yes, a ski video. With June on our doorstep, and Memorial Day come and gone, it’s pretty much summer here in Utah and I should just let go and get over it. But nay, there still be snow in them hills. One merely has…
Friday Video: The Bus – A Story of Friends and Fun
Good times with friends. That’s all we want in life, isn’t it? Well in this week’s Friday Video, Joey Schusler and his posse seem to have found that sometimes elusive (because of jobs) fantasy life enabled by an old school bus. His video, “The Bus: A Story of Friends and Fun” documents the revelry, and even…
Friday Video: Flying/Skiing the Henry Mountains in Southern Utah
Last week I posted a trip report about our backcountry ski adventure to the Henry Mountains. One of our crew, Jon Strickland, brought along a speed wing and chose to fly off the mountains rather than do something as pedestrian as snowboard. He also brought his GoPro. Well, the video is finished, it’s called, “Flying/Skiing…
Friday Video: Dub Tales Episode 2 by Andrew Whiteford
“This guy is a better skier than me.” That’s what everybody will say after watching this week’s Friday Video called, “Dub Tales Episode 2.” Okay, maybe there are some skiers that are more talented than Andrew Whiteford, but it’s not you. Rest assured, you’ll understand why after watching “Dub Tales Episode 2.” You know, there…
