After ten long and powder filled years Jonah and I have decided to stop filming and producing Powderwhore films.

Why? The answer is complex. So many factors and reasons. Something Else was the film we had hoped we could make, and we finally did it. The rest is a mix of risk versus reward, old age, finances, lack of snow, and just feeling like it’s complete. After we made the decision, a great confirmation came in the form of the huge relief we both felt. I’m quite sure I’ll never have a more challenging and rewarding job, and that makes it a very tough decision to make. On the flip side, this shitty winter the west is experiencing does make us glad we’re not scrambling to pull something together. It was a good run. We are really proud of what we were able to produce with the resources we had. Nobody out there was doing as much with as little as we were.

So many people helped make up this snowball and keep it rolling. A huge thanks to all the friends that broke trail with us, sponsors that supported our work, and to all the people behind the scenes that worked hard to make the films and the tour a success. And cheers to you Powderwhore Nation for sticking with us through our, hand-held camera work, our telemarking days, the childish humor and beyond.

Our good friend and ski partner Megan Michelson did an excellent job telling our story in a recent issue of Backcountry Magazine.



What is next? I’m not sure. This is both a little frightening, but mostly exciting. It’s been hard, but good letting go of my identity that is so tied up in the films. It’s been nice to droop the camera and just ski for pleasure. PW has left it’s mark.

We are considering doing a “best of” tour in limited cities for next fall, but we’ll see.

Until then, Go Fluff Yourself!
