The films this year are...

Hand Cut: Beautifully shot, soulful film exploring the connection between our ski towns' mining roots and our present search for the powder we cherish more than gold. Inspiring footage, great soundtrack, thought provoking.

Ride It Out: Follow snow kiters through miles of untracked powder, doscovering beauty and danger in an evolving sport.

My Own Two Feet: First action sports film shot entirely using sustainable production methods. Cast/crew walked 1,200 miles, camped 30 nights in mountains: your feet can take you to unimaginable heights.

The Pact: Chronicles tragedy/recovery of above knee amputee after devastating telemark crash.
