rbwen Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 We're having a ski stoke party and wanted to show some cool Tele movies (or cool alpine movies, NOT Warren Miller types). Any suggestions? Thanks! rbwen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrgo Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I would definately recommend against the unparalleled series unless you like watching people not land jumps and ski tracked up 20 degree snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Conway Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 The FreeRadicals series of movies are good, and $25 for 3 - "White Trash" is a fabvorite. http://www.skiswede.com/ They have a few good teleskiiers in them (such as Frode Gronvold) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emsung Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 what about powderwhore 05 and 06? was there an 07? missed it if there was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-rock Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Try this: eH5-sAE9UjE Not a tele movie, but who cares, tele movies are made by a bunch of sanctimonious hippies who use bad music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulB Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Check out "Sinners" by Bill Heath (apologies if that's what E-rock suggested, YouTube is blocked here at the office) and I've heard good things about his new flick "Nine Winters Old".

Kit Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 (edited) Anyone know where I could get a copy of "Sinners"? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Best ski film I've seen, far and away. Edited December 11, 2007 by Kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbwen Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Haven't shown anything yet. Party's on Friday. Hard to get some of those flicks over here in the sticks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pindude Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Actual tele movies are few and far between, but for the most recently produced tele flicks you can't beat the Howell bros' Powderwhore series. They ain't "sanctimonious hippies" and PW06 is already a classic. You can order here, and coming from SLC you should receive by Friday. There's also Nils Larsen's 3 videos, of which Big Mountain Little Skier is my fav. You can order all 3 on one DVD here. Don't know when you'd get it or where exactly it ships from, but Nils lives not far away near Curlew. Sinners isn't tele-specific and appeals to all skiers, but anything Bill Heath does is exceptional. His latest, Nine Winters, appeals to an even wider audience. E-Rock's trailer is for Poor Boyz' Ski Porn. Hopefully that one has more than all the park jibbin' they show on the trailer. I haven't seen PW05 (yes, there is a PW07, which I've seen along with the Unparalleled series), but I'd put PW06 and Big Mountain Little Skier up there as the top 2 tele-specific movies made to date.

Kit Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Cool. Thanks HC. I emailed Bill. Will report on availability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) Yup, its still available if you email BHandF, mine's on the way! Got it... watched it again... still the best ski film ever. If you haven't seen it, you should try! Edited January 18, 2008 by Kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulB Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) "Snow Falling on Sinners" was distributed by www.bhandf.com you could e-mail Bill, or I might be able to burn you a copy You can order Sinners direct from Bill Heath using this link. It doesn't seem to be accessible from the main site. At only $25, support the independent filmmaker rather than burn a copy.

Hugh Conway Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 At only $25, support the independent filmmaker rather than burn a copy. Cool. The burn offer was because he was reportedly out of copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emsung Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 What's cool about the Powderwhore series is that it's all done by the power of the human leg, all skinning, no heli or cat trips... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they hike and use public transportation to get to the trailheads too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
