Best snowboarding/ski film ever?

The word best, when used this way, is almost meaningless but I don't know another way to say it. I just went to the world-premier of Valhalla, the new flick by Sweetgrass, and it's incredible. Sweetgrass always has great riding and great snow. What do they do different? They find incredible music that fits the film, moving seamlessly between today's music and classic rock, timing the riding to the rhythm, and leaving the viewer ready to ride and far more stoked than ever.

What else sets them apart? They have a storyline that actually stays intact and relevant throughout the film. That matters, because we often attend these films with someone who's a bit less stoked than we are and it keeps them engaged. Hell, this one kept me engaged.

Finally, they are agnostic when it comes to skiing and riding. If it's awesome, it's in the film. Both are represented well, without you thinking "When does my side appear?" or without it seeming gratuitous.

Go see it! Go buy it! Or, you can do like me and do both!

  5. If you want to go to Japan to ski or snowboard this year, come stay at the Hooting Owl Lodge at Niseko. Best Budget Snow Accommodation in Japan. You will love it. After enjoying the day on the mountain come back to the lodge and relax and chat with the other guest in the lounge area a great place to catch up on the days riding and pick up some tips from fellow riders about where to get some secret stashes . Enjoy a drink and some snacks from the honesty bar or feel free to bring your own. Here are options Japan Snowboarding, Ski Accommodation Japan, ski accommodation Niseko,Skiing Accommodation Japan, Snow Accommodation Japan, accommodation Niseko Japan and Budget Snow Accommodation.

  6. While an obvious ad, I posted it because I think that if you're going riding in Japan, you should either go to Hakkoda or Niseko. BTW, I didn't misspell Hakkoda...most folks just don't know about it. Anyway, both are excellent and, for visitors, Niseko is a bit more English-friendly.
