We’ll end today with Best Overall film. Produced by the Felt Soul Media tandem of Travis Rummel and Ben Knight, they’ve taken top honors two years in a row. Their film “Running Down the Man” – a must see at their website www.feltsoulmedia.com – won best overall film last year as well.Note: Although we didn’t get to show all 10 films that made the cut, you can view them at The Drake magazine website: www.drakemag.com.

Today’s film comes from Captain Will Benson, a guide based in the Florida Keys who specializes in Tarpon and Permit.

Living in the Keys as a young boy, Will has spent a lifetime connected to the water. What began with cleaning boats to earn gas money when he was 11 years old, has matured into a “250 days a year on the water” guide schedule. Read More »

The ultimate American greenie dream: Helping the planet by buying cool stuff (And by cool, we mean things like a surf session for two with Yvon Chouinard and Chris Malloy, a guitar signed by Jack Johnson and a brand new New Belgium cruiser bicycle.) Read More »

Like Tim Nickles’ recent post on time away, I am just back in town from a four week sabbatical. Actually, more like shock therapy. Every fall I make the mandatory homage home to see the folks and then head to the beach to get in one last use of my shorts. Read More »

Thanksgiving and Black Friday (or Buy Nothing Day) are days off for The Mountain Culture.

Today, I’m thankful that the puppy I’m fostering made me get up early to play in the snow, for my siblings who meet every year on this day and for the chance to wish strangers a gluttonous gleeful holiday when passing on the street.

(Oh, and the Turkey Trot, squash soup, enchanted forests and the show Heroes.) And thanks to all who visit this blog! Enjoy the feast and each other!

… Until the Village opens.

From Filmmaker Darrell Miller:

Considering the plethora of complaints about last seasons’ snowfall/winter, I think viewers will be surprised by how good of a season it really was in the high peaks.
I personally logged over 100 days in the hills, 99 of them were killer-fun days with productive filming. Definitely snowboarding in Grand Teton National Park: Mt. Wister, Middle Teton, others… Beautiful people in beautiful places, most definitely.

In the middle of the drought, Jacksonites traveled around the world in search of the goods. France, Alaska, British Columbia are all featured behind the show-stealing Tetons and Jackson Hole.

Editor’s Note: Targhee opens today! Happy thanks and giving!
