PW07 Powderwhore Productions Review by Mitch Weber of Telemarktips.com October 1, 2007- For months we have been hearing from the Powderwhores that PW07 would have a different groove then the Utah-based crew's previous Wasatch-centric productions. A very late start to winter in their home mountains forced the Powderwhores to hit the road. "We got into February and realized we had no movie," Noah Howell told us in a recent interview, "so we did what everybody else was doing and headed north." As it turns out, we all probably owe our brothers and sisters in the Wastach a debt of gratitude... you could say that they mostly took one for the team last winter as their homegrown Powderwhores were finally forced out of their nest... it's clear that their loss was our gain: PW07 is a masterpiece on many levels, but none more for the way that the film unselfconsciously documents the exciting state of the sport of telemark skiing, here at the latter part of the first decade of the 21st century. This probably would not have happened if Utah had not failed to go off early last season. Wonderfully paced and without apparently trying, PW07 takes the viewer on a ride which covers the main elements of freeheel skiing as it has evolved in the modern era. Technique is well represented by some of the strongest and most talented tele skiers ever captured on film, including young phenom Nick Devore, who made history last year at the alpine world's premier big-mountain competition, the US Freeskiing Championships at Snowbird. Devore turned heads as the first tele skier ever to make the finals, while also finishing 18th out of a field of 150 of the world's top freeskiing athletes.

AlpineK Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 I didn't see any AT skiing in the video. Did I miss some? The tele part looks nice, but I don't think I'll go until you represent all skiers. I'm sure there are other ways to give money to the NWAC who deserve money. Besides that's right durring Rope Up.
thelawgoddess Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 i'd love to see this but not sure i'll be in town - does it have any canadian tour dates?
Clyde Posted October 10, 2007 Author Posted October 10, 2007 Feck - I think it is mostly a teleflick---I'm on AT too & personally, I'd rather see a flick with AT, tele & snowboarders----and some other breakout sport just to keep it interesting. Too much of any one thing gets old. As for giving some money to NWAC--the Friends annual fundraiser will be 11/17 at the Tractor again. I'll post a notice here closer to the date. Tallboys are playing again----it'll be a good time.
Clyde Posted October 10, 2007 Author Posted October 10, 2007 The only Canadian date is Montreal on 11/7---see http://www.powderwhore.com/tour.shtml
