Conquering the Useless: The Movie
Hey maggots, it's been a while huh. Since Dunfee probably won't post this movie on the homepage, figured I'd just go straight to the source.
So here it is, announcing "Conquering the Useless". This was a big departure from the normal for me. It was a chance to go outside the tried and true boundaries of a ski movie and chase a new dream of mine. After "The Crack" it was a struggle to truly find "What's next?". I knew in my heart I had no desire to try to go out and top something like that. Knew that there was so many rad lines that took a little extra work to get to and plenty of rad adventures that didn't incorporate heli-lodges or guide support. Essentially, it was a shit ton of fun in an entirely different way for myself.
Movie will be out early October, in the mean time. Here's the trailer.
Here's a link to the website with trailer on the front page for those not seeing it embedded (in bed-ed?) http://www.conqueringtheuseless.com/Last edited by Alkasquawlik; 08-31-2015 at 01:57 PM.

I had to refresh this thread once before it loaded properly.
There may be gigalegions of snow hungry weirdos trying to download the trailer, so maybe vimeo has bandwidth issues for the hosting cluster?Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

I don't remember seeing a Team Thirteen movie since Echo, which I though was a great movie and still break it out to watch once in awhile, look forward to checking it out.

Nailed it. I originally heard it from a Reinhold Messner quote and thought that it is so fitting for what we do as skiers. The quote embodies the absurdity and near pointlessness of what we do while also encompassing this crazy feeling that it gives you. It can make you feel like you're a conquerer of the world changing the course of history but in reality, you're really not doing anything important at all. To me, the quote sums up skiing, climbing and exploration so perfectly.
