GAPER DAY is an annual event that happens at many ski resorts on April 1st. It is a holy day where skiers and snowboarders alike, dress up in retro ski attire or in redneck riding gear and get drunk on the mountain while trying difficult maneuvers. This GAPER DAY showcases the talents of the Shire Ratz crew as they frolic on the slopes of Taos Ski Valley. It was a beautiful day full of crashes, hollers, beer drinking, toking, and of course lots of laughs. This is a segment of EPK Films feature film PATIENCE which is near completion. Featuring Robbie Forbes, Josh and Julian Rane, Kody Mayer, and many others. Enjoy!
PATIENCE is the second film produced by EPK Films that was directed and edited by Robert Forbes. It is a 3 year project that covers the last three ski seasons from 2011-2014. Featuring the talents of Kody Mayer, Josh Rane, Julian Rane, Robbie Forbes, Rowan Bateman, Sean Carpentier, Keaun Beacom, Taylor Stadler, and Jaron Stadler. Filmed mostly in Taos Ski Valley but includes some shots from Keystone, Copper, and Vail. Director Robert Forbes has more to say about the theme of his film, "It is called PATIENCE because skiing and filmmaking both take a lot of patience to be successful in. It takes forever for the ski season to start, for the base depth to be reasonable for the whole mountain to be open, and all the waiting that goes on at the resort to get moving. It requires a lot of patience. Same with filmmaking and editing. You are waiting for that perfect shot, that opportune moment to appear, and capture it. Then you have to have a ton of patience to go through all the footage you have compiled and edit it into something comprehensible and enjoyable. Patience is the foundation of it all."
