Ski movies are undergoing a major evolution lately – they’re getting shorter. Maybe it’s due to the success of Salomon Freeski TV, but the short ski film is gaining traction. Sweetgrass Productions is in on the game with their short, “Afterglow,” and now Salt Lake City’s own DPS Skis has introduced The Shadow Campaign. The…

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: Powderwhore Productions’ “Some Thing Else” Trailer
You know fall is knocking on our doors when ski movie trailers start hitting the interwebs.

Alta in April Days are here!
Spring is probably my favorite time of year to ski. The snowpack is deep, the spring storms come in big and heavy, the days are warm, the sun shines bright, corn snow is massively fun to ski on, and every day feels like a party. The beer flows on lodge decks, heavy jackets come off…
Salomon ups their backcountry offerings at Outdoor Retailer
Salomon has been dabbling in the backcountry ski world for a while now with boots and bindings, but it all seemed more appropriate for sidecountry skiing rather than long tours far from the ski resort. Well, I’m happy to report that after visiting the Salomon booth at the Outdoor Retailer 2014 Winter Market, that’s all…
Videos: Ski-BASE Hellgate and BASE Jump Squaw Peak
Clayton Hoyt Butler and Amber Bellows are two Utahns that clearly were born to fly, and not just because that’s the tagline of their blog. This couple travels all over Utah looking for cliffs to jump from, slopes to Ski-Fly, scenery to enjoy and wildlife to admire. But it’s new videos of this gravity-fueled duo…
New Year’s Eve celebrations at Utah ski resorts
New Year’s Eve is always a good time at Utah’s ski resorts. There’s parties, events, music, fireworks, and of course the traditional torchlight parade. Plus, who wouldn’t want to stay up until midnight in the mountains, then start the new year right by skiing on New Year’s Day? So below is a list of New…
Atomic Shred Fest ski reviews at Alta
Atomic made a stop at Alta over the weekend as part of their traveling ski demo, and we showed up to test out the new 2013/14 ski line. From the Bent Chetler to the Alibi, we literally shredded the packed powder at Alta to find the pros and cons of Atomic’s offerings. Below are mini…
2013/14 Ski Season Begins In Utah!
The slopes are crusty, and the open lifts are few, but make no mistake about it: the 2013/14 Utah ski season is underway! Brighton Resort got things started a day earlier than originally announced when they had a two hour opening party on November 7th (and it was all free!). However, both Brighton and Solitude…
