OPENING DAY 2020 - 2021
line of sight - odesza (feat. waynne and masionair)
Schweitzer opened for season pass holders a week early this year.
So Malia and I worked out new equipment, cameras, and old knees…off 1 lift.
Conditions were better than expected and we scored some freshies on what was out of bounds on that day.
Looking forward to more lifts opening and the boys joining us.
Winter 2019/2020 Steffen 7
feelings that I know - august anderrsun
Unlike any other year.
Much of this footage was shot during the last week of the season…literally up until they closed the mountain due to something no one had ever heard of – COVID 19.
We were staying on the mountain that week, a full month before the season was scheduled to close, and it became an odd routine:
Wake up, call down…” are the lifts opening today?”…have breakfast, ride all day, then hang out at Chimney Rock with the only people left on the mountain. There were two other families and a group of old college buddies, one now living in Manhattan, one in Chicago, I don’t recall where the third lived.
There was a real Isaiah 22 vibe going on…”eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
We would toast, pause for a call from Manhattan with updates on the virus, and then toast again.
Shortly after we captured the closing sequence, Z and Malia headed down an empty Stomping Grounds, mountain staff informed us it was time to leave, the mountain was closing. And just like that it all ended…and began.
Goodbye Winter 2018-19
happy day - david crowder
Elias makes it to the Outback, Malia and Z Charge pond skimming, and a Dad’s dream is realized.
All six of us, on Stella together. The six minutes it takes to ride the lift produced a lifetime of memories.
Listen close…it’s not hard to hear a Dad choke up more than once.
