The editorial staff at SkiRaves got a chance to see a ski movie together, Friday, as a #tgif before we left to ski for the weekend. The movie was called “First Descent” and, by happy accident, it was a snowboarding movie!

So this is a first in our office of all skiers, but we loved it. I like the non-fiction aspect, of actually learning how boards evolved to this shape. (Looks like Shawn McConkey was really onto something when he skied snow on waterskis!)

Together we saw Saucerboy, and we get it. Let us be the first to tell you, we now love all snow sports and want to support new beginners getting into balance sports. It is a source of happiness for us, so we want to share.

Next it would be good to make brown rice, a pot of hot chili, and have a watching party of “Blizzard of Ahs” or any Warren Miller, Greg Stump, or Matchstick Productions movie. We already have popcorn.

Spring skiing. We’d love recommendations for slush-skiing movies and clips, best areas, good stories, or new stunts.
