THE MIDDLE/PATH PROJECT - Trailer

An environmentally aware snowboard flick.

The MIDDLE/PATH Project Trailer - an EcoConscious Shred Flick from Sean Fithian on Vimeo.

You can’t always get what you want- so the saying goes. Last winter we planned to spend the majority of our time in the PNW shredding powder and having a low impact on the environment. Changing climates and warm temperatures have become a fearful vision of the future. Last season that nightmare became reality. With winter being almost non existent and resorts shutting down by mid March, we had to search elsewhere. Through our travels, we hoped to acquire knowledge on the impacts of travel and consumption. Things such as how fossil fuels affect the world around us and what it really means to throw something away. The world is changing and the way we are living must change too. Through snowboarding we have a very deep connection to the planet and a desire for it to function properly. Each of us play a role and need to become more aware of the impacts we make. This was our journey along the Middle Path.

THE SEARCH - REVEL - Trailer

Rip Curl showing us how to revel in the backcountry. This is edit shows Nate JOhnstone and co on their trip through Lapland that we featured in Issue #61 of ANZ Snowboarding this year.

Whether it's from the top of an Alaskan mountain or the top of the chairlift at your local resort, we all take the time to gaze at our surroundings. That special moment allows us to imagine all the possible lines, to realize how lucky we are and fuel the stoke before dropping in. Going down a line once imagined is the celebration of a dream coming to life and we revel in that back country feeling.

Riders: Victor De Le Rue - Nils Arvidsson - Sam Favret - Nate Johnstone - Jessy Cornu - Emilien Badoux - Marion Haerty - Jayce Robinson - Dedi Gun - Olya Smershlivaya

The full movie will be released on December 28th.
