I am super hyped on Mr. Manley’s work. His creative eye put’s you in a place that makes you want to drop what you are doing and experience the world. Jordan is based out of my home town (Vancouver – Whistler). Take a look at some of his recent films below. jordanmanley.com Continue reading
This is a must see film! In the high desert of South America, winter takes hold, devouring bleached bones and abandoned shacks. Into these most inhospitable of lands, a handful of drifters emerge from the whiteout, ready to cast their lot on forsaken peaks both merciless and magnificent. Venturing beyond the frontiers of most mountain films, Solitaire is backcountry skiing forged in the tradition of Western cinema. Born in the spires of Argentina’s legendary Las Lenas, a lonely two-year journey begins through an abandoned world, wandering the length of a continent from Peru’s Cordillera Blanca to Chilean Patagonia.Lost in the winds of snowbound badlands and the blizzards of primordial forests; seen from a horse’s saddle and a paraglider’s wings; ridden on ski and board and telemark…Solitaire fuses western-inspired tales of backcountry gambles into landscapes never before visited on film. Enjoy! Continue reading
This a great short film featuring free-ride skier Sage Cattabriga-Alosa and big mountain snowboarder Lucas Debari. They step out of their elements and make an attempt to climb, ski and snowboard Denali.

I love seeing young local people creating fun films like this one. Kalum Ko shot this on a Canon T2i. I have the same camera, so I am now inspired to film lots this season. Check out some of Kalum Ko’s other videos at http://vimeo.com/kalumko
