A good place for it would be the AAC Library in Golden. Do the Ivers still have the log? Alka I though you were flying with Claus. Were you having him pick you up in Yakutat?

I’m trying to find that log too. I have some leads but it’s gonna be hard to track down.

Claus wasn’t Mountain flying this spring. Had his Otter down for FAA air worthiness upgrades and is pulling back on flying climbers in general. Part of our challenge getting on the mountain has been the retirements and general aging out of the OG bush pilot generation with little replacement from younger generations. It’s a dangerous ass job and it’s only getting more challenging with costs for them so if you don’t absolutely love it, there is little reason to fly climbers onto remote mountains these days.

"I'm way better at being less competitive." Lol. This looks entertaining.

Hellooooooooooo that's Elyse's + Jackie's release. Big difference and a lot of work on their part.

It was released on Aqua's YouTube feed which makes it appropriate for this thread IMO. No one said it wasn't their work.

Yeah. Not trying to imply anything other than that. Just saw he posted it and was involved.

**muted reborn** · 09-18-2023, 10:42 AM

Well, my mistake then. His channel will get some eyeballs on it for sure.

Deleted - somehow posted in the wrong forum.

**Core Shot** · 09-18-2023, 12:46 PM

Wrong thread. But that trailer and the title are awesome.
It should have its own thread.
When thing one was born. Wife and I tried to figure out how to still ski 30+ days. We made it happen.

PS. Those gals are milfy as hell. And way better skiers than me.

I definitely am happy to have my own milf. And one that rips and makes funny ski movies. I am biased of course, but this movie is really good. I think it's going to stand out for parents as much as non-parents as it's pretty damn stand-alone funny. I hope it crushes.

Can't wait to watch with my MILF. She showed me the trailer last night. Good stuff.

Any details on how/when this is getting released? In time for annual family-rager wax party late Oct? Or is it going on tour?

As of right now, it will be showing at a few film festivals like High Fives, IF3 and has been submitted for a bunch of other festivals like Banff, Mountain Film, etc... But for online release, most likely coming out in November on a widely dispersed streaming platform. Still working on those details but will hopefully have an announcement soon.

"oh man, I gotta wait until Oct 4? Wait - that's today!"

Weather's got me feelin like it's still early Sep.

**Peruvian** · 10-04-2023, 09:29 AM

Long format!

CS · 10-04-2023, 11:37 AM

That was freaking solid work. Well done dude.

Edit to add: Love the long format

**Supermoon** · 10-04-2023, 12:02 PM

Really fine work fellas! Both on the line and the film. You captured the stress and doubt so well.

**LegoSkier** · 10-04-2023, 12:30 PM

I'm biased because the Eastern Sierra is my favorite place but this was fucking awesome! Well done!

**subtle plague** · 10-04-2023, 01:58 PM

Pretty slick.

But thank you no Thanks on that line. A lot of these hardcore lines in the alps are mainly tick boxing rappel stuff like this in Bad snow. Not my cup of tea.
