Red Bull brought together players from the worlds of skateboarding, free ride mountain biking and freeskiing to Chicago's Vic Theatre for "Reel Life". The evening showcased three films from these respective sports, and MSP was honored and proud to be a part of the festivities.

"Feelin Minnesota" brought a fresh look to skating the harsh climates of the Midwest. Film makers Benji Meyer and Darrin Limvere, along with skaters CJ Tamborino and Davis Torgerson were in the house to greet the fans and represent.

Freeride Entertainment's "New World Disorder 10: Dust and Bones" got great praise from their Midwest fans at the Vic. Red Bull team rider Aaron Chase was on hand to bump fists with these fans, as well as Freeride Entertainment's creative director Jeremy Grant.

Steve Reska and I were psyched to be in the windy city on behalf of MSP. As we kept witnessing on tour this fall, Chicago minds were blown away from the all time performance of Sean Pettit. Chicago also felt and expressed the love during the Shane McConkey tribute segment.

I can't really think of better people to bring these three unique sports together on one screen other than the good folks at Red Bull. Thanks to Luke Seille and Sean Eggert of Red Bull for putting this all together. Please be on the look out for Reel Life next year!

What a phenomenal tour it has been for MSP this year! We've covered the stretches of the USA, Canada and Europe and have more shows still going on daily. It was an emotional tour remembering Shane, with an incredible outpouring in Squaw Valley.
We want to make sure to thank all those that made our Production and subsequent Tour possible, and by far, the BEST one yet! A huge Thank You to:

Subaru
Red Bull
Salomon
CoreUPT

78 degrees and sunny...crazy indian summer climate in NYC didn't stop New Yorkers from rushing the scene at Merkin Concert Hall for tonight's premiere of "IN DEEP"...nor did the Yankees vs. Angels. After years of coming to New York and hosting our film in 21+ clubs, we hosted this years' premiere in a world class performing arts theater, just off of Lincoln Center. A great mixed audience tonight!
Hugo Harrisson has been with us for the whole east coast leg, and was joined tonight by Chris Davenport and JT Holmes... New Yorkers were stoked to meet these big mountain heroes. JT, Hugo, and Dav showered the crowd with swag, and the energy grew as we gave away Smith goggles and glasses, a Helly Hansen Jacket, and MSP/Dakine Baker pack and Volkl skis. The pumped up New York crowd really felt the opening segment of Sean Petit and the AK segment. The love was undeniable as usual when it was time for the McConkey segment.
Time to say good bye to Sean Dogg of Alaska Heli Skiing... thanks for the good times and support on the East Coast! Props to Riccardo and Sam of the Merkin! Lush, vibrant sound and intense light show!
Hard to believe, one more stop tomorrow night in the Poconos, and then back to Colorado. Don't worry though, there are plenty of licensed shows coming your way, so stay tuned to skimovie.com.

I always love coming home to Boston and now the trips get a bit closer to the house where I grew up in Boston with our new venue The Brattle Theatre. Right in the heart of Harvard Square this is definitely a new home for MSP. The show sold out hours prior to doors and a line even formed waiting for possible last chance ticket that might be available. To everyone in Boston who might not have seen the show, we hope to do two shows next year to accommodate all our new fans in Beantown. The theatre was a great setting for the new film IN DEEP and they were right into it. I can't believe how many people came to talk to me about how they have never been to a ski movie before or even know who Shane was before tonight, but how inspiring he was to them upon the first introduction to who Shane McConkey is, it felt great to hear and incredible to be a part of it all.
Thanks to the crew at the Brattle, we had a great time and look forward to coming back to Harvard Sq and kicking around the old "hood."
Hugo and I will jump in the Subie and head south to Philly for the first show there in a while, stoked to be coming to town and hope to see you at the show Wed night.

Burlington is the classic skiers town. With all the colleges and mountains in close proximity to such a cool town, you could see why. Our arrival to Burlington,VT was a great welcome from the crew at Ski Rack. We had scheduled a poster signing for Hugo and Bobby Brown. Bobby ended up running into a bunch of travel hurdles and would end up missing the show. Hugo had to handle the long line up for a signed poster.
The Higher Ground is one of my favorite venues on tour. It's the perfect set up and the locals pack the house. The night started with the intros of all the athletes and a standing "O" for shane McConkey. The crowd got into the powder segment with "In the air tonight" by Phil Collins, hoots and holler's come throughout as the "lines" portion of the film rocked the house . The grand finale was once again set for Shane, with full sing along to "Bro Hymn" people left the venue chomping at the bit to get on the hill, and thats what we love about bringing the film to dozens of locations around the country each fall. Special thanks to Matt at Ski Rack, Seth from Red Bull and Delta for finally getting Bobby to us before we left town. The East Coast Movie tour is rolling around the East coast. Check out the schedule and stay tuned for more pictures and blogs from the road.

A quick catch-up, the last two days has blazed past me. Sun Valley was Thursday night, two shows at the Opera House. Hailey is home to SCOTT and SMITH, Big thank-x to everyone there for the support. We had great crowds and the snow had the people a buzz about the season, WINTER IS ON ITS WAY! Speaking of which, I drove late into the morning to get us closer to MT for the next show. We woke to clowdy sky's which soon turned to 14 degrees, snowing, and VERY icy on the roads. Despite road conditions, Panky, myself , and Athlete James Heim pushed thru to make tonights show. Thank-x Kevin for the extra kick down for the IN DEEP movie goers. Tonight we were in Bozeman, MT for a kick ass crowd of 700 people. This crowd really took my emotions for a ride, the energy @ the Emerson was off the DEEP END!! The reaction for Shane in the intro was hair raising. Saucerboy's were about the venue and the fresh snow again had everyone ready to mount up their new skis and rip up Bridger bowl!! Check out the pics. We will be in Missoula tomorrow, Oct 10th and then I am off to the EAST COAST MSP TOUR...Check the tour schedule and catch us in your city!

The pace is fast...Salt Lake to Jackson to Park City, like we're chasing storms. Jeff Berman, Abma and myself are once again back in the saddle for PC, UT. While our crew feels the effect of road, we are jacked knowing we're headed to PC to follow up a sell out in the 2008.
PC was gearing up to be special. In addition to last year's sell out, this year Park City Mayor Dana Williams was slated to be in the house to share some words and show his support for MSP. Also Park City resident and Shane's mom, Glen McConkey was coming to conduct a silent auction to benefit Shane's family and reminice over Shane's rise and legacy.
The Park City crowd trickled into the theatre, and before we knew it, we were at capacity. Our rock show introduction pumped the fans, and the energy kept rolling as I introduced Mayor Dana, who may be the coolest mayor, and is an actual rock star guitarist in local bands. The good vibes proceeded to go richter, as Shane's slideshow shot came up on screen and the sold out crowd busted a powerful standing ovation. Heart felt warmth filled the room when Glen McConkey spoke of the fond and humorous memories her son.
Abma assaulted the crowd with about 500 tons of swag, along with sweet raffle prizes from the Jim Santy auditorium. Our Saucer Boy winner was the perhaps the most "seasoned" we have seen on tour, proving you're never too old to "master the saucer." PC was one of the most diverse crowds we've seen in terms of generations...and new school and old school displayed their satisfaction with this year's film.
Nothing but love, thanks and respect out to George and the Park City Film Series crew for hosting a repeat sell out. If you didn't catch the show Friday night, be sure to appear Saturday or Sunday as it rolls through the weekend.
West coast is the books, and could not have ended anywhere better than Park City. Matty and Ron wrap up the Mountain region in Missoula, MT Saturday night. Jeff Berman, you killed it and I hate to leave you but the show must go on to the East coast. 10/15 in Montreal, 10/16 in Burlington, 10/17 in Durham...Be There!

No time to chill really...Up early on Thursday...Myself, Jeff Berman, and Abma load up to make the haul to Jackson, WY. The Tetons are considerably dusted with the goods as we pull in, which insures that thoughts of skiing are strong among the locals. Mark Abma greeted the fans, and these fans proceeded to bum rush the entry forms for the night's prizes. When he took the stage he spoke the noble truth of his non profit, One Step...raising awareness of treading lightly in the back country.
Since Jackson is a big mountain mecca that sees it share of the pow, the Crowd was especially fired up for all the AK, powder and big lines footage. As we have seen everywhere on tour, Jackson was choked up, yet inspired by the McConkey segment. Thanks to Teton Motors for the support with the sweet Impreza outside the theater...and big ups to Frank, Chad and Meg of the Teton Theater for their continued support of MSP in Jackson!
On the move ASAP for Park City at the Jim Santy Auditorium. Sold that mother out last year, so y'all best be ready!
