Home is certainly where the heart is. And if you love skiing there's no better place to settle down than a snow covered mountainside. But what if you could just pack up your house and cart it off to one world-class ski resort after the next? That's the basic premise of Liv'in Tiny: A Quest for Powder a new film by Sam Giffin. Right on the heels of last year's A Down Hill Affair the filmmaker follows his pro-skier brother Zack Giffin as he makes his way across the...

Filmmaker Anson Fogel wants to show a side of the American West that few people get to see in the movies. Having grown up around the rural farming and ranch communities of the Wyoming and Colorado the head of Forge Motion Pictures has a different perspective to share that runs contrary to the romantic imagines most often projected on the silver screen.

Up long before dawn this morning for an alpine start. The alarm clock got me up at 3:30 AM with time to spare for a 4:30 check-in at Dane County Regional Airport in Madison, Wisconsin. As hurricane Sandy rages along the East Coast I'm grateful to be heading west far into the Canadian Rockies of Alberta.It's great to be back in Banff! Technically, the 2012 Banff Mountain Film Festival started three days ago. The week-long celebration of the adventure lifestyle is an annual event not to be missed. With...

Adventure Media Review, Environmental Protection, Film Review / 23.10.2012

The preservation of our nation's waterways is an issue of growing urgency. But as it is with most natural resources we take for granted few people will ever fight to protect something they do not know. Where the Yellowstone Goes, a new film by Hunter Weeks, is an intimate introduction to an ancient river that was old long before Lewis & Clark embarked upon their expedition more than 200 years ago. Following the path of America's first great explorers along the Yellowstone River through Montana to North Dakota...
