Shoule skiing and snowboarding be together? It seems that it usually doesnt work in most films but there is a new snowboard company that put out a film and sponsor skiiers and it works. 
www.thelevitationproject.com this movie is free and has a good combo of skiing and snowboarding. Check it out
 I think that this is how more companies should try and work.

i make amerature films with skiing and snowboarding and its a little hard to find the right balance but once you do it can be pretty enjoyable to watch.

i just like how different this is. The zombies at the begining of the film are kind of crazy but the rest of the movie is really good. Blake Nyman has one of my favorite segs. Snowboarding and skiing together make for a better movie. Ive heard they are a clothing company but cant find the clothes anywhere. I want one of the jereseys

its been done before? maybe in tgr movies but its only a couple of snowboarders and all big mountain. This is better because it shows everything. except for halfpipe shots I wish there was more pipe.

the newman administration (omg biased) had what i found to be a very very nice balance between the two.

filmmakers should try it more, snowboarding can be really good for skiing.

i know its been done before but not as a large scale production where its almost a 50 50 split between the 2 and travel to all sorts of great locations. I saw these guys at Baker last season and it was cool to see them work. I didnt know who they were at the time. Its a crazy team. Usually companies that sponsor both dont market both together. its worth checking out. One of the best free movies I have have seen.
www.thelevitationproject.com I just wish there was more info on the site about them.

for sure, i thought that was soooo damn cool.  That segment displays exactally what i want to see in movies in the future, jib flicks in which skiers and snowboarders shred together and session jumps or handrails or whatever together.  Maybe Team movies??  i would love to see more team movies, like in skateboarding...

I downloaded to my Ipod, but it was kind of pain because I had to search for it in my temporary internet files because it didn't give me an option to save it.  But once its there you just move it to itunes and then onto your ipod.

personally, i don't enjoy watching snowboarding as much as i enjoy watching skiing. you have to be damn good/creative on a snowboard for it to hold my attention. So, personally I am glad that there isn't more mixing. 

I don't have anything against snowboarders, I just don't like watching snowboard movies.

I never liked watching a whole snowboard movie but this one is worth a shot. Its better than Tgr just because its kind of punk or something with the heavy metal zombie intro.

Give it a shot dont think Im wasting your time on this one. http://WWW.THELEVITATIONPROJECT.COM for a free movie its one of the best that I have seen. I think your going to see a lot from these guys.

TGR's the tangerine dream did it very well. Primarily skiing with a bit of snowboarding in it.

I think TGR always does a decent job. Snowboard jibbing in movies has never done much for me but I enjoy big mountain pow snowboarding as much if not a little more than pow skiing in movies.

I'm a bigmountain/pow SKIER BTW
