Tanner left us at the very young age of 14, but will always be remembered for having more ambition, and passion then any rider out there. We love you Tanner, you and your family will always be with us in our hearts.

Thanks to Toy Soldier Productions, Curtis Bietz, and Chris Thueson for sending me their footage of Tanner from this year.

Hi-Line Films followed a group of friends through the backcountry of Montana over the last two winters in search of the deepest snow, steepest lines, and coldest drinks. Sticking true to the ski bum lifestyle of living one tank of gas, one growler of beer, and one day at a time, we found ourselves realizing it's really all about the good times with good friends. Starring T.J. Andrews, Garrett Umphress, Sam Arroues, Thomas Vincent, Joel Anderson, Brett Bacon, Jake Fagrelius, Danny Arnold, and all of our friends that we could possibly fit into the bus. This is "the simple side." Filming and Editing by Ben Zeimet Additional Filming by Will Freihofer and Bobby Jahrig

Paint The Town White: David Steele Season Edit

by JAHrig
Nov 2013 - 2K views

Who knows how long I'll paint houses to pay my student loans. How many more trips to new skylines will fit on the odometer. What the changing climate will do to the snow that starts high, fills in the runs from the summit down. And just like the nonsense that will always be there, the freedom and identity found on pair of skis remains steadfast. From Denali to Nelson to the hill I grew up skiing in Montana, theres certainty. Buzz in the parking lot. Stoke on the skin track. Joy as Ive ever known it, free as every flake that falls. -David

Jake Fagrelius- A Season Cut Short

Jul 2013 - 1.9K views

Jake's ski season this year was cut in half by an ACL injury this January. Although we did not get to follow through with most of our plans, Jake was still able to stack an impressive collection of footage during the few months in which he was able to ski. He may have missed the heart of powder season here in Montana, but he has been recovering from his therapy and counting down the days until he can strap on the skis again. Watch out next season, Jake is set on coming back with a vengeance. Enjoy these highlights of Jake filmed between the months of November and January. Big thanks to...

Trimmings: Episode 3 "Our Backyard"

by JAHrig
Apr 2013 - 636 views

This episode follows Montana locals getting out and exploring the vast wilderness that is just outside our back door. Montana has so much terrain, and so few people to get out and ski it, so the choices are endless if you are willing to put on those skins and break a sweat. Hiking into a zone is a completely different experience then you would get from riding a chairlift and the satisfaction after working hard to get up something and then being rewarded by fresh, untouched turns down is a feeling unmatched. This is a story about real people earning their turns and enjoying every minute of it.

Ian Hamilton - You Got To Change

by JAHrig
Dec 2013 - 1.7K views

You may know Ian Hamilton as the guy from a small town in Montana who can be seen flipping, spinning, and sliding around the Salt Lake area terrain parks and Slopestyle contests on the regular.... well this is a side of Ian that the public is not as familiar with, a side of him that stems from his Montana up-bringing where a terrain park could not be found for hundreds of miles and people learn to ski on the mountains in their rawest form. Sometimes you have to take a break from the competition, take a break from the hard-pack snow and monsters of steel, sometimes "you got to change" and get back to the powder and features that mother nature so kindly provides for us.

Aug 2013 - 261 views

Altoona Ridge Lodge is a backcountry hideaway located in the Flint Creek range in Western Montana. All the resorts were closed and the spring weather was melting the snowpack rapidly. We took off to Altoona Ridge Lodge and took advantage of the stashes of snow they had left. From skinning up the remaining snow lines, to building jumps and jibs, and just enjoying life in the mountains, Altoona Ridge Lodge is the place to be.

About a year ago we put this together for the NSTV Pilot Project contest. Doing this just for fun we were suprised to find a great response and were stoked to end up getting 2nd place in the contest. This inspired us to keep up with the series and we went on to make six episodes over the season and are coming back with a season two! I never did throw this up on Newschoolers other then for the contest so I thought for our "year anniversary" I would put it up for the publics viewing pleasure again. Watch out for us this season as we explore the great state of Montana!

In early December the Trimmings crew headed out from Montana on a quest for a better snowpack and new experiences. We found ourselves in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado taking advantage of any snow we could find. From booters, to pow shots, and a little bit of resort thrown in there, the crew made the best of our week in this beautiful mountain paradise.
