Wheat better way for a group of pro skiers to show their appreciation for the National Park Service on this the year of its Centennial than to carve through some fresh powder.
As a tribute to the 100th anniversary of the park service, POWDER magazine has teamed up with KGB Productions and a group of professional skiers to create the upcoming film Monumental: Skiing Our National Parks.
Calling it a ski film unlike any other, the film pays “homage to these monuments of nature and solitude, reminding us skiers where we came from, and that we belong to something greater than ourselves,” according to an release announcing the film.
