Updated 12/5/11
How do you get pumped up for the coming ski season? Is it enough to go to a ski swap? Or stroll through a ski store to ogle the new gear? Or do you prefer to rent a couple ski films, or attend a ski movie with a big crowd?
I have to admit it's entertaining to go to a showing of a new ski movie with an audience. People cheer and hoot and holler. It's pretty fun.
During fall 2011 in Vermont you can catch the following ski films. There will...[Read more]

It's been exciting to see the growing variety of ski films that make their way around the country these days. The Warren Miller Company has plenty of competition today. (Thank goodness!)
Yes, most films have big air, slick tricks and epic powder shots, but each filmmaker pours a bit of their own personality into their product. And, it's fun to see eastern ski locations in ski films that are shot by eastern production companies!
Here's a list of upcoming ski movies that...[Read more]

Have you seen a ski film yet this fall? There are several making the tour around the country this year. Good pickin's.
The new Warren Miller film is in Burlington, Vermont, this weekend.
You can catch a bunch of ski movies starting next weekend in locations throughout Stowe, Vermont. It's the Stowe Mountain Film Festival and the line-up is full of powder shots, tele turns, snowboard tricks and more. The festival benefits the Vermont Ski Museum, which is located in Stowe.

Good news: Some Vermont ski resorts are firing up their snowmaking systems as temperatures drop again. On Jay Peak, for example, the weather service says it will get down to around 20 degrees (F) each night this week. Brrrrr. Sounds like perfect weather for making snow.
Here are a few events in northern Vermont in the next two weeks that can help get you in the mood for early-season skiing.
The Cochran's ski swap is this weekend and the Waitsfield ski swap is the following weekend. My...[Read more]

This sounds like fun in Stowe this weekend: 15 skiing and riding films will be screened around town over the course of eight days, starting on Saturday, November 29. Pizza is involved in some of these showings, too, so get there early.
The cost of entry is either free or $5 depending on the show. Locations include the Rusty Nail and the Vermont Ski Museum.

What a combination: a snowy Mt. Mansfield and the glow of a setting sun. The mountain was pink this afternoon as the sun set. The photo is from a Web cam that is positioned at Burlington International Airport, looking east.
All this snow and cold weather gets me in the mood for skiing. Going to the Warren Miller film last night doesn't hurt, either! They had some fun skiing sequences from Iceland (wow, what a unique place!), Crested Butte, Japan, Alaska and even a little bit of Vermont. They...[Read more]

IN A WORLD... where winter blankets the northern reaches of America in copious amounts of snow, one filmmaker (or maybe two) dares to deliver a heart-pumping, ear-throbbing spectacle to salivating skiers year after year. Who are these snow-worshiping heroes? Why do they do it? And, um, how can we get a ticket?
That's right: it's time for our annual fall ski flicks. Warren Miller and Teton Gravity Research are making...[Read more]

Yes, I know it's only October 13, but I'm ready for the ski season. You see, I just made my annual pilgrimage to a ski movie. Each year it's either Warren Miller, Teton Gravity Research or Mountain Films--and sometimes two or three of these!
Last night my husband, two friends and I grabbed a quick dinner and headed for Higher Ground in South Burlington to see TGR's new winter flick called "Lost & Found." The music was loud, and I could actually feel it reverberating off my kneecaps, but...[Read more]
