James Heim reflects on the La Nina winter in B.C. and shares a few first-person pow segments from his shoots for the upcoming Matchstick Productions film. 

The Seattle International Film Festival will honor legendary mountain filmmaker Warren Miller with its Golden Space Needle Lifetime Achievement Award on June 8th at Seattle's Benaroya Hall. The event includes a showing of the short film "Men of Steel Riding Wings of Wood," and you can even win two tickets via the photo contest. 

Pro skier and former TSKJ intern Molly Baker and the folks at Outdoor Research get up early to climb and ski a unique route on Mt. Shuksan's hanging glacier. According to Baker's blog, the end of season trip marked the first female descent of this seldom travelled route.  

If you've been thinking there isn't enough genre crossover between skiing and horror cinema, then todays is your lucky day. One of those ideas that sounds amiss until you see it executed well, "Three Days of Horror" from Leigh Powis and crew satisfies both the need for gratuitous violence and an abundance of top-notch park skiing. 

Not your typical face-shot-heavy GoPro pow edit, this look at the winter season from Tyler Horne goes literally above and beyond the slope  and captures the action with some inventive camera placement. 

Sweetgrass Productions continues providing rare looks into the making of their two-year South American project "Solitaire." In the fourth episode, the crew navigates the temptations of the Las Lenas lifestyle and unexpected weather conditions. Though this particular endeavor doesn't pan out for the Sweetgrass crew, the contemplative but refreshingly unpretentious narrator puts an apt spin on the old adage, saying of life giving lemons, "sometimes it just takes a little longer to make lemonade." 

Mixing still shots and action, expansive landscapes and intricate details with inventive edits, "Zero Degrees" is a photographic exploration of the life cycle of snow in BC's Coast Mountains. The film from Nicolas Teichrob and Dendrite Studios traces the enigmatic essence of winter from its atmospheric origins, down the slopes and rivers to the ocean, and back again, along the way illustrating the film's closing line "Winter in the Coast Mountains flows to a different beat."
