Jeremy Jones’ “Higher” in IMAX review
Have you ever seen a ski or snowboard movie in IMAX? No? Well after watching Jeremy Jones’ “Higher” from Teton Gravity Research on the IMAX screen at the Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake City, I’m here to say it’s an experience that completely engulfs – an experience I wish would happen more often. Witnessing POV…
The Powder Pilgrimage ski film review
Ski and snowboard movies are pretty slick these days. High production quality, helicopter footage, and the best skiers in the world shredding big lines is standard fare. So it’s refreshing to see a movie that’s just about two guys loading up a truck camper and spending 4 months backcountry splitboarding along the Powder Highway of…
Powderwhore Productions “Some Thing Else” ski movie review
The boys at our local ski movie company, Powderwhore Productions, have spread their wings and taken off. They’ve flown so far with every movie in the last 10 years that they’ve finally made it – they’ve made a movie that is no longer a video diary of a Utah ski season with backcountry friends. The…
Teton Gravity Research “Almost Ablaze” ski movie review
I’ll be honest, I’ve never been a huge fan of Teton Gravity Research movies. They were always plagued with the same trap of repetitive ski porn, and as a result, I never paid them mind when their latest offerings rolled through Salt Lake. But after hearing about the quality, documentary style of the Jeremy Jones…

Video: Dub Roots from Dubsatch Collective
Nothing gets skiers jazzed up for ski season more than over-the-head powder footage. In this week’s featured video, the new short film “Dub Roots” by the Dubsatch Collective, there’s plenty of it, and they even keep it mellow with one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. The video is shot entirely at Alta. It’s basically…
Sweetgrass Productions “Valhalla” review
Sweetgrass Productions has done it again. The ski movie company known for creating the most art-house flicks in the ski world drove their famous school bus through Salt Lake City where I caught their latest offering, “Valhalla.” If you’ve seen a Sweetgrass movie before, like “Signatures” and “Solitaire,” then you have an expectation of beautiful…
Powderwhore Productions “Elevation” review
The boys over at Powderwhore Productions sure know how to get a Utah backcountry skier amped up for the upcoming season. Sure the production quality isn’t at the level of MSP or Brain Farm, but the lack of heli shots and superstar skiers mugging for the camera is exactly what makes “Elevation,” the new ski…
