Over a Beer: What’s A Barbi Angle?

If you’ve ever hung out with a pro skier or a filmer, you might have heard them talking about hanging out at a "sick barbi." But then you might quickly realize this person isn’t talking about chilling out in a backyard in boardshorts with a Sierra Nevada in hand - they’re actually talking about freezing their butts off on top of some remote Alaskan mountain trying to keep their camera warm enough to capture the action from miles away. In TGR terms, a "barbi" angle is where a filmer stands for long enough in the same spot to have a barbecue. It’s a crucial part of making a ski and snowboard film - learn more about the art of doing a barbi right with longtime TGR cinematographer Jill Garreffi.
