The Return of Kastle

It disappeared a few years ago after making skis forever, or so it seemed. But now it's been brought back, revived close to it's original home, and they're making skis again. I'd like to try some out.

Check it out: Kaestle Skis.

Dynastar's New Pro Deals

Looks like Dynastar/Lange has finally outlined what their new Pro-Form style sales will look like. The only details to it I've found come from SkiPressWorld in this article

The short version of the details:

Specifically, legitimate pro skiers will go to Dynastar's Prostaff Website where they'll be able to explore all there is to know about the brands before being directed to some of the most passionate, pro-friendly ski shops anywhere in the world. These shops will make the sale. And shop and pro will have greater familiarity with each other and the sport. Dynastar, by working with PSIA, will aggressively promote these "Pro Specialist" retailers to PSIA's membership as well as to the greater skiing population at large.

Find a Jobby Job

Justin over at Ski-Blog.com has found an interesting little project, called One Week Job. Justin does a good job explaining it, but the short version is this guy Sean is traveling around Canada taking a job for a week. Why? Hopefully to find his lot in life, but also because it makes for a pretty cool adventure.

For the most part the site is a blog of his adventures that include some great commentary. I'm hoping we'll see more of the compiled videos though like this one.

Another Teaser

Thanks to an anonymous comment, another teaser from Adventure Film Works, this one titled "Weather We Change". The teaser looks like it's pretty interesting, some nice shots of the slopes, the powder, and includes a little of the socio-political commentary the film is geared towards. The really killer part, they had a link to the SkiMovieMusic.com website, a listing of the soundtracks to all the ski movies from years gone past.

Find the better quality teaser here, but you can also just watch the YouTube streaming trailer down below:

Yet Another Trailer

"8 Years Later" the teaser trailer from Shine Line Productions has been put online. Since they don't provide a direct link to the player, a few rules to follow to find it. Click on this link, find the graphic button "Launch TRAILER Time", and finally click on the video you want.

Or since they do provide an option to embed the trailer, just sit back and watch...

2007 Teaser collection

I started it in the last thread, but found this just recently:

Online Videos Day

Free time is an evil thing when one has access to an internet connection. Given the rash of heat and wild fires recently, I went looking for deals on new gear this year. Mainly boots. Justin pointed out some great deals on Beast 10s at the end of the season, unfortunately I had to send them back due to my "size" not fitting. Thus I'm back to finding some again. Instead, I found a whole bunch of videos to enjoy this year.... so without further wording from, a link list of videos.

• SkiWorldPress has their poorly done online web video system with a collection of "Go With a Pro" videos (the PSIA/AASI snow-mercials). They're fun and got me excited to work on the bumps again (my consistent downfall). Check them out at Skipressworld.com

A couple of the snow pron videos I've found online:

• Poorboyz Idea Trailer
• TGRs Lost and Found
• Matchstick Production's Seven Sunny Days
• Alterna Action Films Apples & Oranges
