Boston: My Kind of Movie Premiere Season

Although new ski movies have been premiering all over the west coast, here in the East we have been eagerly awaiting their arrival. Meatheads has been touring with their latest release, Wild Stallions, and their turnouts are proving we are hungry for more onscreen skiing action. Some of the ones I am most looking forward to seeing on the big screen and the dates they will be in the Boston area:

Meatheads: Wild Stallions

Northeastern University
Tuesday, October 13, 8:00 (next week!!)
Room #20 West Village F
40 Leon St., Boston, MA

Have to give props to the boys who brought ski films to the East. We are proud of our 6 inch powder days and icy slopes...makes us stronger...right? Their description says it all "Renowned for their endurance and aggressive behavior, Wild Stallions are notoriously elusive and rarely captured on film." Plus, who can deny the awesomeness that has slaps of meat as a main component to their corporate image?

MSP: In Deep

The Brattle Theater
Cambridge, MA
October 19 - 8pm (doors open at 7)

Judging by all their recent sold out shows, MSP's In Deep is not one to miss this season. The movie reveals the common bond between those in the park and those backpacking up the ridge, a passion for snow and the sport. In their own words "whether it be a double cork 1260, a deep turn on a storm day or ripping a giant AK line. Skiing is an incredibly diverse sport that offers it all." Its one of the aspects I love about skiing, no matter what your ability, there is always an opportunity to push it to the next level.

TGR: Re:Sessions

House of Blues
November 21, 2009

TGR has a history of great films, and Re:Sessions doesn't look to disappoint. Taking the focus off of traditional films full of tricks and deep powder turns, it moves "into a revolutionary realm of action sports entertainment."

Every time I watch the trailer for this I get more and more excited. After 60 years of great films, The Warren Miller company is still making amazing movies. This one looks to combine all those years in one epic adventure.

Level 1 Refresh

Colby College
Waterville, ME
November 3, 2009

Putting these two films one after the other...yup...its totally a marketing ploy. However equally excited for both. Although the closest premiere to Boston is in Waterville, ME (a mere 3-4 hour drive) I think it would be worth it for a lil'road trip to the home state. Refresh promises to "[Look] looks back and challenges perspectives of where the sport has come from, and where it’s going." Like everything else in the world, things are changing quickly, so sometimes it is interesting to gain perspective into what once was.

Edge of Never

Coolidge Corner
Brookline, Ma
November 18, 2009 - 7pm

The Brattle Theatre
Cambridge, Ma
November 17, 2009 - 7pm

I saved the best for last. Ever since I started following the film on Twitter, I have been excited. Yes, I received an autographed copy and watched it immediately, but still can't wait to see it on the silver screen. I am sure the cinematography will be better, but the film is so much more than that. Following Kye Peterson's journey to ski the trail that killed his father never turns sappy, but more of a tribute to those that have paid the ultimate price doing what they love the most.
