Some weeks, more than others, it's so hard to keep this list at just 5 main features. This was for sure one of those weeks. And in response to the results of last week's poll, I've got mostly homebrew edits lined up for you guys this week. Lets check it out.
Starting off the week, and my list, is The Mountain in My Mind. This project had an insane amount of sponsors behind it, from the biggest brands to individuals making donations on their own. Presented by LINE Skis and FlyLow Gear, the Mountain in My Mind has one goal: destigmatize talking about mental health and suicide in the ski industry. The film is a ski and snowboard film about mental health. Directed by John Padilla, who lost his 15-year old brother to suicide, this breakthrough film is the first of its kind to interview skiers across the “Suicide Belt” in the Rocky Mountain Region of the United States.

Next up comes to us via @*SURFACE , with Grahm Grays 21/22 street edit. This thing is just over 2 minutes of some absolute hammers. Swaps over skate stops, and getting pushed by a van for your inrun are certifiable core clips to have in an edit.

Thanks to @E.Haukkala , we have another great example of what it means to have a locked-in rail game. ERKKO is just under 5 minutes, all of which go a long way in displaying just how much skill Eero really brings to the street. I totally felt that intro shot too...

Here to satisfy the park edit section is @Unaffiliated with Preseason Curds. I'm sure many thanks were given on this Thanksgiving preseason park day at Tyrol. The weather looked awesome, the setup looked clean, and the Wisco boys already looked dialed in. Go show em some love.

The final feature this week is going to @Faction for CHILE Spirit of the Volcano. This 15-minute backcountry film follows Duncan Adams, Sam Anthamatten & Sophia Rouches. The Faction Collective travels to Chile for a ski touring adventure. The mission? Discover and ski some of the most impressive volcanoes on a road-trip south, connecting with the local community to understand the significance of the volcano in Chilean culture.

I definitely feel the need to mention the new film from @TheBunch , Many Fantasies Later.
And I REALLY want to mention @TYW 's new piece from Deviant Films, called CHAMELEON. This thing was off the walls for real. Check these out as well as the other awesome uploads there in the Videos tab!

We started off the week with some awesome news from @Level1 and their announcement of their Rail Jam Tour. Inside the article, you'll find a breakdown of prizes and event dates, so check it out and mark your calendars!
Coupled with this announcement is @zachfenn 's piece Level1: The Ethos Behind the Rail Jam Tour. Zach checked in Conor Smith at Level 1 and really dug into the motivation behind putting on events like this. “The last three years have been cool, and the last two even cooler, with the pandemic, it’s opened so many doors for us and allowed us to explore more possibilities.”
@iang had a chance to chat with the Bunch about their new film, where they discussed the inspirations and potential directions of the film. I really don't want to spoil too much, so be sure to both watch the film, and check out this awesome editorial.
@cydwhit brought us a new piece about those cars with empty ski racks we see driving around every now and then. This is something all too relatable, and I'm prepared to accept any of these potential explanations offered, just to stop wondering, why...
