Best Ski Videos

This video has been on The Blog in various places since PDQ turned me on to it a few years ago.

I just like having this handy for those times when I need it.

But the blog is really a place for New York and Northeast stuff. So I'm keeping it here.

I know this isn't Gore or New York, but it is a bunch of Gore telemark regulars sampling Silverton Mountain.

Thanks to Greg at FIS for pointing this one out:

Stompin Grounds from Chris Nelson on Vimeo.

Great work Chris Nelson and High Anxiety Films.

I know I'm not going anywhere like that, but I'm still extremely excited for my Utah trip.

Revolver - Poor Boyz Productions from Kicker Films on Vimeo.

"Revolver" by Poor Boyz Productions. Definitely the best trailer I've seen this year.

Not pure ski porn, and it's Vimeo, so it doesn't run super smooth... but it's different and kinda cool IMO:

Kashmir - A Skier's Journey: Episode 1 on Vimeo.

Thanks to Edd at AZ for pointing it out.

Different colors than what I've seen around NY......

There was a segment in Wintervention there, or somewhere similar at least. Red rock canyons and such. It was pretty awesome.

I saw Revolver, it was good. Our DVD skipped though, and I made a thread on Newschoolers about it, some other people had the same issue.

I'm seeing Eye Trip in two weeks, that's supposed to be a good one. I'm thinking about downloading CS Films/The Gold Project's Fools Gold, that's one I definitely need to see. It's only $4 for the digital download here.

**They've had a few downloading issues for people using Mac's and Internet Explorer on Windows 7. I'm not sure if they've resolved it or not.

But I definitely really want to see Light the Wick by TGR. TGR is never disappointing to me.

Found this over on TGR. The music is a bit lame but the skiers and skiing are UNREAL. Consider also that the skiing is pretty much all in real time, not slo-mo. Mike Douglas' reaction to turning 40 is very impressive. Gotta go vacuum now, will be replaying this in my head.

Mike Douglas wrote

One of my last goals of my skiing career was to be able to do a 7 at 40 and, uh, I just turned 40 so... it's time.

Yeah, I'd say he still has it.




Good find SBR. I'm always looking for new procrastination footage

So I got the Fools Gold digital download from NS and Light the Wick from iTunes. Maybe it was the stoke factor of skiing with half the kids in it, but I definitely think it was better than MSP's Revolver and it held my attention better than Light the Wick. Granted it was half the length, but it was awesome. For $4 you can't go wrong, especially to support some locals. The editors, Craig Stay and Alex Savarie, are Whiteface locals and Galin Foley's in Vermont.

There's a powder segment from skinning up Big Jay and something up in the Eastern High Peaks area.

I think you have to sign up for a Newschoolers account to download it. It only takes few minutes, though.

**If you do download it, make sure you click the "Fools Gold - Digital Download" button after you're redirected to the NS Store from PayPal. It's right under the stuff about order confirmation I believe. (I forgot to click that and closed out of the page. They had to refund me and I had to do everything over again.)

Trailer: (It's Vimeo, click play then pause quick to let it buffer so it won't be jerky)



The Gold Project and CS Films Present Fool's Gold from The Gold Project on Vimeo.

Moved.

THAT is the most amazing thing I have ever seen.  Definitely worth every minute spent.

If others want to post non skiing vids, we should probably start a "Great Videos" thread in the OT, where you could post anything that isn't skiing.

That bike video is fantastic, love the scenery and music too.

Here's a great one from Dave Heath, brother of Bill Heath, the creator of Sinners and Ski Your Ass Off. It is "a photographic homage to the early days of skiing...all shot and produced during the month of March 2010." As usual with Vimeo, let it load before viewing.

Here is some North West ski porn!

Not all Northeast, but a full length ski/snowboard movie, for FREE. Beware, it's TERRAIN PARK HOOLIGANS

Video isn't embeddable, so here's the link

Found a great one posted over on TGR. The footage reminds me a lot of a the film "Signatures," which is well worth seeing if you get a chance. A ski trip to Japan would be something else, both from a skiing perspective and as a cultural experience.

Check out these wacky Norwegians, rippin' it old-school...

Yumpin' Yiminy!
