Food needs to be purchased, and eaten. Showers need to be taken. Bills need to be paid. Emails and phone calls must be returned. But no, that can wait. Because it has snowed more than 5 feet in the past week, and continues to snow, so we will ski as much as possible until it stops. Here are some photos and video … › Continue reading

Jackson Hole opening weekend was this past weekend. Even though we did not get the 100+ inches that the PNW got we still had a great time. It was great to dust off the skis, get the legs moving, an be reminded of how to ski something other than powder !
“Although snowfall has been a bit grim, and everyone knows powdery opening days are way better than not powdery days, the kick-off to the ski season is, without fail, a festive event. It signifies that the lifts are turning, all the familiar faces are stoked at the hill, the game is on … and that big storms and deep days are on the way.
Despite the low snow accumulations so far, both resorts reported strong skier numbers for opening weekend. The usual opening weekend scene ensued at JHMR, with Teewinot and Apres Vous lifts open.”

would say not a chance. But sure enough, Warren Miller came out to the double feature of Swift.Silent.Deep. and Refresh. Here’s what a few of the attendees had to say about our documentary ski film after hours at the King Cat Theater in Seattle on November 14, 2009.
