–>> âLEGEND HAS IT (2023)â
Film Production Company: Teton Gravity Research
About the film:
“Ski lore is riddled with stories, sometimes of unknown origin, describing plausible but extraordinary past events. Often shared on chairlifts, the skintrack, or over a beer, these legendary tales, whether it be mythical storm cycles, heroic feats, or whispers of fantastical terrain, all contribute and shape our present experience. For 28 years Teton Gravity Research has been traveling the globe with the best athletes to the most incredible locations often based on this fabled history to uncover the experienceâŚand sometimes creating legends of our own along the way.”
When: Saturday, September 30th. Gates at 6:00pm. Film at sunset.
Where: KT Base Bar at Palisades Tahoe (outdoors)
Tickets
“Pay what you can, it’s that simple! We want our events to be accessible for the entire outdoor community, so whether you’re joining us for $10, or can support with a $25 ticket, our hope is the give-and-take will allow us to continue to bring our films to you while making events more accessible for everyone.” https://www.palisadestahoe.com/events-and-activities/events-calendar/

–>> âFLYING HIGH AGAIN (2023)â
Film Production Company: Teton Gravity Research
About the film:
“In a world, where the snowboard corporatocracy cares more about the next Instagram swipe, one company has decided to team up with legendary snowboard film director, Mike Hatchett, and do the impossible. This film defies all odds – to bring together a crew of passionate riders for a full-length feature film – and celebrate what matters most: a bomber squad, rowdy soundtrack, and pure unadulterated riding action. Are you ready?
TGR’s new snowboard film, Flying High Again, premieres this October.”
–>> “Warren Millerâs ALL TIME: Seventy-four years of filmmaking/strong>
Film Production Company: Warren Miller Entertainment
WARREN MILLER FILM TOUR
Narrated by Jonny Moseley, ALL TIME will feature deep dives into elements that Warren himself first identified as the stuff of which snowy dreams are made.
From the birth of ski towns like Sun Valley and Aspen; to the icons and innovatorsâlike the original hotdoggersâthe film will spin through the years like snow ghosts, bringing humor and inspiration from today including Maineâs finest athlete, Donny Pelletier, to the park scene at Woodward Park City and the next gen of skiers and riders.
Less a documentary than a love letter, itâs a way to honor how, where, and with whom weâve made ski and snowboard movies since Warren first picked up a camera in 1949.
This is not a trip down memory lane; itâs an exploration of how snow sports have burrowed into our collective consciousness as an obsession and a way of life.
Warren Miller ski and snowboard films have served as the annual start to winter for skiers and snowboarders across the globe for nearly 75 years and is a party that canât be contained by a single film or even a single year.”

The Land of Giants (2023)
âIf I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.â -Isaac Newton
The story of man vs. mountain is one that has captured our imaginations for centuries. But what if MSP flipped the script? What if, instead of focusing on the human element, we took a closer look at the mountains themselves?
Thatâs the premise of The Land of Giants, a new ski film that explores the most iconic mountains on Earth. From the Fjords of Norway to the spines of Alaska, we will get to know and understand the canvas that creates the most mind-melting moments in skiing. But most importantly, weâll come to appreciate their sheer beauty and power. Captured with revolutionary cinematography combined with genre bending music, The Land of Giants is not to be missed.
The Land of Giants features the best skiers in the world, skiing unbelievable conditions and riding to the very edge and beyond. Itâs a celebration of the natural world, and a reminder of the power of the human spirit. Itâs a film that will leave you awestruck, inspired, and humbled.
Join us on this journey into The Land of Giants.
The crew at Matchstick filmed in the most iconic and beautiful ranges skiers dream of. Our âCastâ of mountains are:
Smoky Mountains, ID
Chilkat Range, AK
Niseko Range, JP
The Sierra Nevada, CA
Lyngen Alps, NO
Wasatch Range, UT
Fitzsimmons Range, BC
Kitimat Range, BC
The Land of Giants Cast of athletes features the best skiers the sport has to offer, from all over the globe: Mark Abma, Sammy Carlson, Logan Pehota, Tonje Kvivik, Nikolai Schirmer, Caite Zeliff, McKenna Peterson, John Collinson, Colby Stevenson, Janelle Yip, Sam Kuch, Ari Tricomi, Karl Fostvedt, Coline Ballet-Baz, Craig Murray, Emily Childs, Dennis Ranalter, Xander Guldman, Hedvig Wessel, Lucy Sackbauer, Stinius Skjøtskift, Gen Sasaki, Sam Cohen, and Marcus Goguen.”

Where we like to chase POWder?
.. Kashmir’s POW galore
‘where culture, travel exploration and skiing meet’
“Twenty-two year old Swede, Lovisa Rosengren, chooses Gulmarg, Kashmir as her dream trip spot with Cody Townsend and Kalen Thorien. What was supposed to be a cultural trip, turns into so much more when a 3 meter snow storm rolls through the resort.” – Salomon TV

đ For those who are single, meet that special someone who shares your love for snow sports via speed dating event which will be held before the party đ
đđ We’re looking to add event organizers to SnowPals’ event crew; past experience a plus; to get the ball rolling. Paid gig or volunteer to get perks. Know of someone who’s interested, please with them. Thank you!
This blog article was written by Rick Bulan who’s a 10 year veteran ski patroller at Sierra at Tahoe Mountain Resort
Did you know that if you ski or snowboard on the weekends, most of the ski and snowboard patrollers you see are volunteers?
Most resorts have a small paid âpro patrolâ and utilize volunteers on the
weekends.
To become a ski/snowboard patroller you need:
1) âSki Checkâ at the resort you are interested in (to verify you can ski/ride every run on the
mountain)
2) Outdoor Emergency Care class (80 hours)
3) CPR for health care professionals (AHA approved)
4) Candidate season at the resort to learn locations, equipment, and radio protocols
You will have to commitment to:
1) $98 NSP annual membership
2) 2 days of off-season skills refresher
3) 14 workdays at your resort
Some of the perks you will receive:
1) Discounts from ski and snowboard companies
2) Season passes from your resort
Why do I do it?
What does your typical ski day look like?
Do you do laps, eat, do more laps, then go home?
Now imagine your ski day getting first tracks in the morning, being able to help others, going
straight to the front of the line, getting deep discounts on food, accessing restricted areas of the resort,
hanging out in the patrol room at the top of the mountain with your fellow patrollers, and being the last
person on a previously busy run at the end of the day as the sun goes watching the alpenglow of last sunlight are memories that never get old. If you enjoy adding to your skiing, first aid and Avy skill-set and like to help people, consider joining.
Know of family or friends who would be interested? . Thanks!

Experience Yosemite’s solitude backcountry ski and stay at the mountain cabin. The Yosemite Winter Club – Cross Country Ski Section has been active for decades. Its primary purpose is to provide supported ski trips.
The members of the Club pack and deliver caches into the various huts and cabins located throughout Yosemite in the late fall and retrieve them in the spring. Thus the members are able to ski with a much lighter packs containing only lunch, snacks, and sleeping bags.
Members have years of cross country skiing experience, including backcountry skiing, and are excited to teach others who wish to learn and experience the thrill of skiing into the back country of Yosemite in the middle of winter. Come view at least 40 years of trips throughout Yosemite, learn about how the ski equipment has developed over the years and the opportunities to learn how to cross country ski or broaden your knowledge of cross country skiing into the back country realm.
