Stomping Grounds — High Anxiety Films
Our good friend Chris Nelson over at HighAnxietyFilms just finished up his east coast ski movie “Stomping Grounds.” Chris focuses his films on the incredible backcountry skiing that the east coast has to offer, and resists the temptation to succumb to covering park footage.
Not that I have anything against park footage, but I do believe that other east coast film companies sometimes tend to make too big a deal of it, and thereby give the impression that park is the core of east coast skiing. As any reader of FamousInternetSkiers.com knows, this couldn’t be farther from our view.
Anyway, enough about that. “Stomping Grounds” is pretty ridiculously awesome, and I even managed to make a cameo appearance making some hop turns as I finished my run in The (Other) Stowe Derby. So watch Chris’ film through to the end, you won’t regret it!

I believe in using a very broad brush overall, but highlighting some issues I feel more confident about. Secondly, the NE is a pretty large area and a few miles north, south, east, west can make a huge difference. So understand that at least at some locations in the NE, this outlook will be trashed very soon. Lastly, it will snow infinity inches at Magic.
Got all that? Ok, lets move on.
