Whistler Backcountry Snowboarding, The Sequel: Return to Powder Mountain
**We encourage you to watch in HQ, as it makes for a much better viewing experience**
Early March 2009
Los Badicales join forces with Powder Mountain Catskiing (http://powdermountaincatskiing.com ) once more for 3 days of unforgettable powder.
Not far from Whistler Blackcomb, BC, Canada in the Coast Mountain backcountry.
Big thanks to all of the PMC crew including Gordon, Don, and Ken; Our guides Nick, Jeff, and Simon; Our drivers Bailey, Pete, and Steve, and Mike the photographer. Also thanks to Miss Powder Mountain, Kate.
All of the footage was shot using my VIO POV helmet cam.
Sorry for the overexposed part around 3:30…I suppose the sun was too bright for the camera to capture a clear image.
The song is “God moving over the face of the waters” by Moby.
We’re already counting down until next season!

Standard Films – History of Snowboarding (PART02//03)

Standard Films was started in 1991 and is a snowboard film company started by brothers Mike and Dave Hatchett. As at 2007 they have brought out a snowboarding film every year.
The company was started when one of the two brothers (as a professional snowboarder) was in a serious snowboarding accident in a particularly treacherous chute, breaking his femur. The injury caused him to lose 2″ from his right leg and brought his professional snowboarding career to an end. The brothers chose to make films to continue the professional snow sports lifestyle.
Standard Films are generally shot on 16 mm film. Due to the bersome nature of the filming equipment, this is uncommon amongst snowboarding films, which are not usually marketed for cinematic quality.
The films are well regarded for their long history and their emphasis on snowboarding, rather than on the peripheral snow-sports activities, and high quality filming and post-production.

Alaska Backcountry Snowboarding
Sunday, January 27, 2008
Four of us (plus 4 others and 2 guides) took an excursion with Chugach Powder Guides in one of their snowcats in the Alaskan backcountry (not too far from the Alyeska resort).
Our two guides, “Durney” and Kurt, were fantastic. In the whole group, all but two were snowboarders (and the two guides skied as well).
The footage was shot using my new helmet cam from V.I.O. pov. You can see the camera at helmetcameracentral.com . The quality of the footage this camera takes is amazing.
The song is “No Cars Go”, by Arcade Fire.
Enjoy
