This is gonna be one helluva show.....

PortersTahoe.com, Burton Snowboards, Corona, Transworld Snowboarding, Alpine Meadows, Ubisoft, Sobe and the Supersuckers are teaming up on the evening of Saturday, October 25th at The Underground club on 555 East 4th Street in downtown Reno, Nevada to present the Burton Team movie It’s Always Snowing Somewhere. A 7pm all-ages, free showing will be followed at 9pm by a $4.99 cover for a 21-and-over premier of the movie and after-party featuring the Supersuckers. Tickets for the second, 21+ screening are available online HERE or at any of Porters’ four North Lake Tahoe shop locations.

The movie It’s Always Snowing Somewhere follows the Burton Team traveling the northern hemisphere, from Austria to Alaska. It features action footage from Shaun White, Terje Haakonsen, Natasza Zurek, Gigi Rüf, JP Solberg, Heikki Sorsa, Nicolas Müller, Tadashi Fuse, Frederik Kalbermatten, Jeremy Jones, Jussi Oksanen, DCP, Mads Jonsson, Trevor Andrew, Keegan Valaika, Kevin Pearce, Danny Davis, Kazuhiro Kokubo, Mikkel Bang, Mikey Rencz and Peetu Piiroinen.

There are only ten other screenings of the movie across the country, and this will be the only showing anywhere in Northern California or Nevada this year. The first 100 people at the family-friendly, all-ages, free showing at 7pm sharp will receive a free lift ticket voucher to Alpine Meadows Resort and a free tour stop t-shirt. An autograph session will follow at 8pm with Burton Snowboards team riders Jussi Oksanen, Danny Davis, Kevin Pearce, Mason Aguirre, Heikki Sorsa, and Kelly Clark scheduled to appear. Doors open at 9pm for the 21+ movie and after party. Tickets are $4.99 in advance and this is expected to be a sold out show.

Local Tahoe bands Cohesion and Hunks of Metal will play before the second showing of the movie. Hunks of Metal feature early pioneers and legends of snowboarding such as Terry Kidwell, Shawn Farmer, and Bob Klein. When asked to play at the event Bob said, “Who has a chance to open for not only the Supersuckers, but a world class snowboard movie as well? We’re looking forward to rocking the Underground for the first time, hopefully not the last, unless we get too drunk and rowdy!” Immediately after the 11pm screening of It’s Always Snowing Somewhere the greatest live rock ‘n roll band in the world – Supersuckers – will take the stage for a rowdy and raucous set. More local bands are scheduled to finish the late night / early morning in the back lounge room while The Underground’s resident DJ will spin the rest of early morning in the main showroom.

For more information on this awesome night email me at chappy@porterstahoe.com or call us us toll free at 866.967.6783.

It was a dark and stormy night in Squaw Valley but that didn't stop the kiddies from coming out to Mamasake to see Think Thank's Stack Footy and Airblaster's August movies. Mamasake was packed to the hilt and everyone was excited because the temp dropped and the winter jackets and beanies came out of the closet.... perfect attire for snowboard movie premieres.

Think Thank's Stack Footy was a great vid with crazy urban shredding, big park jump lines and fresh powder turns. The pants were tight but so was the riding in this vid. After the showing of Stack Footy there was a little raffle and then Ariblaster/ Thirty Two rep Eric Wallis hit play and "August" was off and running. Now for those that don't know "August" was filmed entirely at Mt.Hood during the first two weeks of August this year. I have to say this is a fresh new concept to the snowboard film industry because usually a movie is filmed through out an entire season, not just in two weeks. So for starters I liked that about the movie. Second it was full of fun jibbing and fun everything. A big thanks to all that came out and braved the monsoon at Squaw and a big thanks to Mamasake

Well, if you were foolish enough not to get a cab (yep - we know someone who did that!), it was still definitely worth the walk from the Gas Lamp district of San Diego up to Modus Bar and Lounge for "Under the Influence".


Why? Free beer!!

Well, that and the much-anticipated snowboard movie premiers of Rome’s "No Correct Way" and "The Bluebird Movie" from Bluebird wax. To inject a little personal stamp of approval on where the Bluebird crew is coming from, their tagline is: Snowboarding...it was better when you hated us. As any sport becomes bigger and more mainstream, it unfortunately can become a hostage to corporate money and corporate marketing and morphs into something that its originators never intended. Hopefully all the guys associated with the company can fare better than so many other promising brands that have come and gone over the last two decades of snowboarding.

The night got a little fuzzy pretty quickly, but I remember that our homies over at reelcomp.com were doing a webcast, our extended family JP Lagos over at thesnowlife.com kept the beers coming, John Foy from our friends down the hill at Boards 'n Motion was all smiles, and Runke the Rome sales manager was up to - or should I say "down to" - his normal mischievous ways!!

Your first Alterna snowboard movie came out in 2000, The Struggle.  Is it still a struggle today?

It’s always a struggle but we always find ways to overcome our challenges.
Creating snowboard films is definitely not the easiest of tasks, you have so many variables that need to come together for a film to be successful. Good light, snow conditions, crews that mesh well and solid sponsorship are only some of the various elements that need to work well in order to create a solid film.


What is a typical year like for you?

We pretty much film and travel from when the snow hits until around May of the following year. I guess that also depends on the type of snow year we are faced with, when we filmed Shrediquette a few years back we had the challenge of having hardly any snow, we were forced to go to Argentina in July to make up for lack of footage.

This year we traveled to Norway in July to get some "on the road" footy because we pretty much spent the whole season in Whistler.  Look out for the save of the century which took place on this trip care of JF FORTIN in the beginning of his segment.

As far as going to Vegas for the asr trade show we have been more successful gaining sponsorship outside of the show it seems its more of a good time than a time to do business.

Summers are now spent at our new office on the North Shore of Vancouver editing and going out fishing and boating as much as possible which is not that much. 
 
 
One of my favourite video parts is Travis Williams in Breaking Ground.  Do you have any favourite parts or sections that really stick out for you in your past 8 projects?
   
I guess the parts that stick out the most right off the top of my head are Mike Page's Struggle segment, the Poland section in IN TRANSIT, Trav's Breaking Ground segment, JF's Reflection segment, Beardmore's Fast Food segment this year the new faces like Takaharu Nakai and Matt Belzile stood out.

 
Do you think the internet is killing the video star?

I know that more people are watching our films because of the internet and less people are buying them. When I was in Finland last year all the up and coming finnish groms all had burned copies of almost every snowboard film. Europe is always a step ahead with this technology and North America will follow.  We are hoping that added value to our packaging like the insertion of an Apples & Oranges bandana this year will encourage people to buy the DVD.
 

What do you see for the future of snowboard films?

In my opinion, online distribution is definitely the future of snowboard flicks. People want to see movies right away and if you have your computer connected to your TV like most will in the future buying and viewing your favourite film will be one click away.


The latest project coming out of Alterna is Apples & Oranges.  What can we expect?

We shot the film in true HD so that is also a new element. Expect a 20 plus video layered intro that will have you re-watching it for sure. This year in some of the segments especially in Matt Belzile's part we miked Matt for his entire part.  Apples & Oranges also has the most cable cams and dolly shots that we have ever employed in any of our productions.

 
How large is the crew that put it all together this year?

During the winter there are seven production people together and we also contract out additional help during the winter for certain sessions. Myself and Bryant Bell are full time in the office on the North Shore.


I noticed that you popped the question if people would prefer Blue-ray vs. HD-DVD.  What are you thinking of going with?

It looks like Blue Ray for North America and HD DVD for Europe. 720p Downloads were also a big request. We will be releasing an HD downloadable version of Apples & Oranges closer to Christmas.


What would you like people to take away from watching Apples & Oranges?

Hopefully after watching Apples & Oranges you get stoked to go out and shred for yourself.
 

Where and when can people come out to the premieres?

All premieres will be listed on our website www.alternaactionfilms.com


Any shout outs?

Big Shout out to all the riders, production crew and sponsors involved in supporting the creation of past Alterna films and our latest release Apples & Oranges.

And for those of you who always wanted to meet the riders and producers of the crew in true color and sober - you are sincerely invited to the "Isenseven Kaffeeklatsch", a meet & greet event at the Planet-Sports shop, Albert-Roßhaupter-Str. 37 in Munich, in the afternoon before the party.

15 lovely Euro-boys and marvelous athletes doing grandiose trips all over the world during this super awesome tropical season - all captured with superb camera work and presented with magnificent editing styles. That's "Übermovie", dropping September 2007.
Well,... actually, it's just an entertaining snowboarding movie. Not more, but also not a bit less.

Now you got the chance to download the official trailer in HD quality at the website www.isenseven.de or just watch it here on Snowboard.com to get a preview of our this year's work. Our home-turf bananas Andre Tröltzsch, Basti Kuhn, Marco Smolla, Peter König, Chris Patsch, André Kuhlmann, Xaver Hoffmann, Christophe Schmidt, the Strauss-Twins and Michi Zirngibl together with the Scandinavians Fredrik Evensen, Daniel Ek, Erik Botner and HC Bergheim were filming in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and also enjoyed journeys to California, Utah, Colorado, British Columbia and Norway to find snow that actually never really came. Nevertheless, we had a very amusing season.

Thanks for watching!

My Blog: Patience
By: Sappho


Well im currently becoming impatient towards the upcoming season. I have been watching way too many snowboarding movies and looking at too many pictures it is getting to me. I have come to realise it is a disease that has no cure, only mild forms of medication, ala hitting it when the snow falls. My GF is sick of hearing me talk about the snow, and i can imagine it gets a bit much sometimes as i'm slightly obsessed, if only my disease was contagious, or maybe she is immune in some way. Well, to my fellow disease ridden compatriots in the Northern part of this wonderful planet i hope you had a wicked season and were blessed with lots of pow. To those like me in the south, lets hope we have a sick season and ride all we can, with no injuries.

The Kale & Muriel Show... Tadashi's Video..



The world may very well be in for one heck of a treat in the near future. A reality show based on the wacky lives of Kale and his Grandmother are currently in the works. This project is still in the very early stages of development but can you imagine.. Thier crazy house, the bird gang, the strange house guests, the odd coupled outings, not to mention the great conversation over cheese drenched meals.. The Kale & Muriel show could revolutionize cable television as we know it.. If you are at all interested in seeing this show come to fruition do your part and post a comment.

Did you know Tadashi's making his very own snowboard movie this winter??



The movie features the Tman along with his hand picked cast of fellow Japanese rippers eating raw fish, using chopsticks, singing horribly and of course shralping the crap out of everything in sight. Learn some Japanes then check out his sight.

 Well Boys and Girls… Let me just tell you a little something…

This past weekend in Toronto was EPIC.

Now the events only lasted a little less than 48 hours (and about 10 of those hours spent on a bus).

Some of you may have know that this past weekend was the Ski and Snowboard show in Toronto, as well as the Snowboard Canada party where they unveiled two new snowboard movies made by Forum and WhiteOut films.       Not only that, but one of my good friends from this site finally moved to Canada! So we had a fricken good reason to party hard!

The actual events started on Friday night at midnight. JR_Barns and I met up at the bus station in Ottawa and jumped on the overnight bus to Toronto. We had a few drinks on the bus but not enough to get me drunk(he was already drunk). We rolled into T-Dot at about 5am. Now I don’t know if any of you had the misfortune of being in Toronto at 5am… but NOTHING IS GOD DAMN OPEN!  JR and I decided it would be a great time to start walking around trying to find random things to do. We found some funny looking statues of animals and took some pictures… Also found some hummers and flipped them off. I think the nice thing about that time of day is that all the homeless people are asleep and they don’t bother you. But there was this ONE homeless guy walking around swearing as loud as he could and started yelling at JR and I, we just kept on our marry way.   After not eating all night my stomach started to hurt so we decided to get some food in our bellies. We found the only McDonalds open at 6:30 and bought us some grub. When I got back from the washroom JR had a worried look on his face and said we had to leave right away. I couldn’t figure out why, but decided it would be smart to leave. He then told me that there was some funny looking goth kids and they where putting on gas masks so he didn’t want to take any risks.


I met up with Lauz at around noon. Who knew it would be so hard to find one another in the Eatens Center… We walked around Toronto in search for the Holy Grail, or the ULTIMATE CUP OF JAVA. It took us many hours of walking and looking at the map and asking some random guy for directions, but we found it! And it didn’t take 10 minutes for Laura to drop the cup and spill the contents on the ground. At this point we started making our way to the snowboard show.    I didn’t really like it that much, it was a zoo, I couldn’t find any good deals and decided it wasn’t the best idea to spend all my money on gear until I can get the Pro Deals I need…

 

We ate dinner at this place named the RichTree or something, I cant remember. But it was yummy. I bought a nice plate of sushi and rum and cokes. Mike some how managed to find himself a GREAT deal on beer and got loaded before we even left the place! We continued on to the Snowboard Canada party and got WRECKEeeddddd. Having two Australians in a room with a bunch of Canadians is kind of funny. Everyone drank way more than they should have. *EDIT*  Zee slapped my ass as if she owned it :(  I felt special, I also felt dirty after the Cougar tried taking advantage of my dancing...
Oh! It was also Steve's Birthday and man was he DEAD DRUNK! lol.
 
 After that I some how got convinced(didn’t take much) to go to an after hours party which was pretty fun. The evening ended at about 6 am when I rolled into bed fully clothed.      So I was awake from Friday morning at 7am, and didn’t get to bed till 6am Sunday. With drinking,  partying and a shi*t load of walking.   GREAT TIMES IN TORONTO!        Wish more people could have come out for it. And I wish I had pictures of the event… But no one seems to have any… lol

Heavywater Studios is proud to announce the premier of the first It’s Your Life episode, a five minute peek into the very hectic lives of five professional snowboarders. The premier episode stars Oakley professional rider Trevor Andrew.

Risking his life in the backcountry of Whistler to pull off an elite snowboarding movie segment while fulfilling his obligations as an up and coming musician, Trevor Andrew is a man of many hats. The 27 year old’s episode takes you on a rollercoaster ride of snowboarding, snowmobiling, shooting a music video, getting injured, performing live, and messing around on his home mountain. Self-filmed confessions using a Nokia N90 camera phone, explain a story throughout his past season.

Produced by Max Jenke of Endeavor Snowboards and Derek Heidt of Oakley, It’s Your Life intimately documents the aspirations of five professional snowboarders and their friends. The rawness of personal journals and footage filmed exclusively on Nokia camera phones combined with vivid narration, an amazing soundtrack, and first class snowboarding combine to make a unique viewing experience. Episodes launch every two weeks, beginning October 1st.

Presented by Endeavor Snowboards, Oakley, Nokia, Snowboard.com, Whistler/Blackcomb, and Heavywater Studios.
