Main Feature – Before Blank
The 1st ever film by the Blank Collective, this movie takes a light-hearted and retrospective look into the similarities & differences that drove each member down their own path. But like someone once said, “Who resembles… assembles.” Their deep passion for skiing began at a young age and that link continues to shape their lives today.

A Telemark Tale
Combining the ancient sport of Telemark with the new school flow. See Tahoe locals Bevan Waite, Ty Dayberry along with Loren Griswold, Sven Gorham & Erik Nordin trek across the globe searching for blower powder, deep stories, and of course a heckuva lot of fun from as far as the lands of Japan to back home in Tahoe.

Bird Flu Crew – Short
Lake Tahoe’s 2017-18 winter was a little lean, but it also brought us one of the all-time snowiest March’s on record. South Lake Tahoe’s very own Bird Flu Crew presents a short film featuring backcountry boarding, sled carnage and footage from around the basin. We don’t know about you, but we’re more than hyped to see Lake Tahoe being showcased in a film again. Are you ready? We are!
