youtube link went ill, it lives on vimeo now. Thanks for the support NS!

"During the winter of 2011, my brother Neil and I were presented with a once in a lifetime opportunity. We were to spend two months embedded in the heart of the Kootenays at the legendary Retallack Lodge. The mission was to shred pow with our good friend Tanner, who was on his comeback, and to help film Retallack:The Movie for Inspired Media Concepts. I took the role of the dedicated time lapse junkie, while Neil was a true on slope camera master. This video is a showcase of our skills behind the camera, as well as a few of our favorite long lens shots from Retallack:The Movie. Time lapses make way for deep powder mining, and a trip into the heart of the "silvery slocan" to see how silver miners conquered the mountains a century ago. Mining for powder in the Selkirk mountains is serious business, and we found out just how serious it can get. We hope you enjoy our short film, and perhaps absorb just a sliver of the energy that is Retallack Lodge in beautiful British Columbia." ian provo

a buddy of mine and I are heading up to Idaho Peak on Saturday for our first turns of the season. this couldn't have dropped at a better time.

 
^^Avalungs. And simply WOW. Seemed like a true essence of skiing video, amazing photography. Freaking blown away.
 
That was awesome! Great riding, cool timelapses (gotta love the CR with the lighter that was in there a bunch), good vibes, and those POV turns half way through...WOW. Keep up the great work guys!
 
Scary avi!!! Not sure I would stick around after that dropped. Did you have that line picked out from the beginning or had to change up cuz it was the most stable with all the rocks sticking out around it? Either way that whole section from the avalanche to your lines off that face was insane!
 
aaaaahhhhh so much stoke! that just made my day, can't wait to get out and tour again! thanks guys!
 
The Provo dudes are some talented kids. They don't get enough credit when it comes to filming and editing. INSPIRED.
 
Everything you guys do is so well put together..whether it be fishing pictures or incredible edits..always gets me stoked.
 
dude yes!! so epic, thanks for that. And great work not dying in that avalanche, I would for sure shart a little if that happened to me.
 
This video has truly brought tears to my eyes. A masterpiece in cinematography and pure pow skiing culture. Please continue to produce such top-notch films, perfect music, perfect editing, amazing skiing. Thank you.
