Welcome to the
Picture Family Film Fest!

Please enjoy the following winter films from athletes: Jackie Paaso, Sander Hadley, Cody Cirillo, and David Kercheval, and Picture.

"The Arctic 12" - Jackie Paaso

In April 2021 a team composed of two couples, a pair of professional big mountain skiers, and two IFMGA guides set out on a 415km traverse above the Arctic Circle. The goal was to summit and ski all of the 2000 meter peaks in Sweden. This is an area where the tallest peaks are changing due to melting glaciers and new 2000 meters peaks are being discovered as recently as 2016. The journey will take them through what is often considered Europe's last wilderness. The team will face the unpredictable weather of the Arctic, abnormally unstable avalanche conditions, and perhaps the biggest challenge, each other. If successful they could be the first crew to do so in one go during winter conditions.

"Island Day" - Dave Kercheval

Those essential days among those of structure, obligation, and commitment. These coordinated mechanisms of action are suspended among this world’s most intimate dance with balance. One nurse finds his balance as needed, and lends you a perspective into his time between. Through a days glimpse into a venture of coastal ranges and salty shores. Our Dave, departs the hospital after a long stretch of night shifts, consistent as the tide he moves to a favorably undiscovered nature and finds his restoration. He intends to attend life’s balancing act and dance with scales. By boat he sails to isolated shores to join the ocean, seeking swell for a morning’s ride and gentle winds of compliment. Only then does the scale begin to tip, and he retreats to the dense mountains for an afternoon's slide. High above it all, this Dave finds his sought after balance in acquaintance to the natural world of these cascading peaks. There, he holds space to embrace all of life's essential dualities, and finds harmony on his day of the in-between; his "Island Day".

"Southwest Scramble" - Cody Cirillo

This season was hard. A pandemic, avalanches, injuries - sometimes you just want to get away from it all. After a trying winter filled with a pandemic, avalanches, injuries, and ideas that just didn’t work, skier Cody Cirillo wanted to get away from it all. So, he took to the road. Southwest Scramble follows Cody on a bike-to-ski journey from his home of Telluride, CO to the Southern mountains of Utah. Through hundreds of miles of road, gale-force winds, and excruciating climbs, his arduous excursion ultimately pushes his journey inwards.

"Home Lines" - Picture

Global warming, has forced us all to change our old habits and to take a new look at our local mountains. Searching for adventure in your own backyard makes so much sense.
