Poor Boyz Productions – Revolver

[Vimeeeeee-oh yeah!] <— 8,008 A look back at Poor Boys Productions 2008 feature film Revolver — This gets me excited for snow to really start falling.

JP Auclair – All.I.Can

[Vimeeeee-Oh-Yeah!] <— 68,500 Finally able to watch JP Auclair's incredible urban segment in All.I.Can. When watching this film live in a theater - this was definitely a crowd pleaser and definitely one of the most entertaining skiing segments I have seen in quite some time. Strong work JP. Email reply from JP on December 5th, 2011 —

“Yeah.. pretty nuts.. the thing is going to hit 400K within the first week.. The Sherpas and I are still trying to wrap our heads around why it caught on like that. Must be the back flip, can’t go wrong with a backie!”

JP Auclair – Alpine Initiatives – Inspire

[Vimeeeeeo] <— 3,256 A year ago I challenged JP Auclair to take the time and make a show reel that encapsulates what Alpine Initiatives does for the launch of their new website. It's a difficult task - because to make something great takes a lot of time and organization... all while you are super busy doing other things — and JP is always busy doing other things.

Las week the new AI Site launched with this video as their visual point.

Congratulations JP. You have inspired. Now it is time to connect and grow. In the coming month we will announce a partnership between Alpine Initiatives and Blackbox Case that will continue this exploration.

Mountains Are Fun

“Super cool buddies who hopefully love me enough to pimp! As you may know, my 9th full time job is making movies about crazy people. The new trailer for my next crazy people movie is done and we are trying to get a buzz on it.

Greatly appreciate it if you could watch it and if you are so inclined forward it around, post on facebook, tweet, etc.”

Anything you can do to get people to check it out or forward it around, comment on it, etc….greatly appreciated!

A few things before you watch from questions I have gotten from others:

  • The unicyclist is on the edge of a 2500 foot cliff… his tire is a couple inches
  • Simon Dumont travels about 200 feet in the air and reaches an apex of about 100 feet high in the air before touchdown on ice
  • The cliff the ski jumper front flips is 210 feet high
  • The guy jumping over the road is coming from about 100 feet in the air or like jumping off a 10 story building over a road
  • The song is the new single from the band Bush…thank you Gavin!
  • Thx much in advance and don’t try this at home!

Thanks Steve

JP Auclair – Movie Time

I recently exchanged some quick emails with JP Auclair to see what he has been up to. Fall is approaching so I wanted to find out what movies I could expect his involvement in this year.

Below is a quick list of where he has been spending his skiing and editing time.

Sherpas Cinema – All.I.Can

I got involved with the sherpas later on… So , no involvement in the teaser. But I shot with them quite a bit last winter, mostly for a urban segment, we shot it with a slightly different approach then I’d been doing in the past (the seg will be about 4 minutes) I’m pretty excited about it.

And right now I’m trying to help out with the movie as a whole, so I’ve became pretty invested in it. Really cool project!

Seth Morrison – The Ordinary Skier

Sweetgrass Productions – SOLITAIRE

Matchstick Productions is on Board with Manchester Orchestra

“I don’t know why it’s snowed so much… just magic. It’s just like magic.”

Get the song – Virgin Virgin - Simple Math
Get the album of the year – Simple Math Simple Math - Manchester Orchestra

MSP’s latest teaser “Attack of La Niña” showcases that they are on board with Manchester Orchestra. So today marks the day of two great things coming together – Skiing + Manchester Orchestra. A quick search at Ski Movie Music proves this fact… and I can’t wait for more production companies to jump on board.

Keyboardist and second drummer Chris “Lighting” Freeman states… Virgin is his new favorite song. So congratulations MSP on introducing the sound of Manchester into the skiing community.

As I already stated last month – Songs 6, 7 and 8 off Simple Math played together will change your life.

Level 1 – After Dark Trailer


[Vimeo] <— 104,000 Hey Josh... thanks for dropping this on my wall and informing me of Level 1 Productions latest creation. Upon first watch... I have to say this is a very dark teaser. Since the name of the video this year is After Dark – I’m going to let if fly.

I counted 5 *holy shit* moments – 4 *what the* moments – and 20 different rewinds to figure out what in the hell is going on. Favorite shot is at 1:20 – looks like a quarter to reverse quarter transfer… so sick.

Skiing Jetpack

[iDevice Link] <— 192,779 Stuntman Troy Hartmen is creating again. This time with a 50% throttle yielded a speed of 47 mph jet pack.

On Gas Mileage:

“@ketonal Depends on how you look at it. The way I see it, 2 gallons will get me to the top of a 2000′ peak for fresh tracks. So I could make 7 untracked laps for the same price as a typical lift ticket. But to answer your question directly, it equates to about 3 mpg on the flats. That would make me an Eco-Loser.”

A second set of test runs demonstrated ascents of black diamond rated slopes. More details to follow at http://www.troyhartman.com
