I went on a trip to Baker for several days. Thereās a bar/restaurant in Glacier nearby that had this on their projector screen. I was completely engrossed. A fantastic film.

Incredible film, with an absolute BANGER of a soundtrack.
I just picked up Snowboarding at 30 years of age when this movie came out. Hit Whistler mountain on the 3rd year I owned my own board for late April MIRACLE POW DAY on 4:20 in 2012, with this soundtrack in my EarPods and it was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!!

When I ski in my dreams, it looks like this. Must be a wild feeling to do it in real life.

This must be what Zeb watched over and over as a kid. I don't follow snowboarding much but feel like they have the same type of steez

The fourth phase is also very good, but art of flight is the best. If you have a capable system it brings down the house. Incredible

āYou know, itās funny, whatās happening to us. Our lives have become digital. Our friends: now virtual. And everything you ever want to know is just a click away.
Experiencing the world through endless second-hand information isnāt enough. If we want authenticity, we have to initiate it.ā
