Trailer season 2019 | Incomplete overview

Trend: Less story, more sustainable skiing in the dark.

by PowderGuide 10/03/2019
After some of the more experimental works of recent years (think Ruin and Rose, for example), the trend for major productions in 2019 is once again moving in the direction of: "Story - what's that?" In the semi-professional home video sector, the focus is increasingly on sustainability and most films - in contrast to the previous year - no longer consist of 90% drone footage. Time- and roadless it's off to winterland!

TGR: Winterland

Story: None, or vague philosophizing about today and yesterday. TGR pros visit historically legendary locations (?). Austria segment with local hero F. Lentsch.

Protagonists: The usual TGR line-up. New: Christina Lustenberger.

Mood: Classic

Quick verdict: Why not.

TGR: Roadless

Story: Wilderness. Campfire. Pulkas. Snowboarders.

Protagonists: Brian Iguchi, Travis Rice, Jeremy Jones

Mood: Male friendship around the campfire

Quick verdict: JJ does his now-familiar wilderness thing, changes supporting cast.

Waren Miller: Timeless

Story: None, but: "Narrated by Jonny Moseley."

Protagonists: Many & Glen Plake.

Mood: Nervous.

Quick verdict: Tiring music, exhausting mix of time-lapse and slow motion.

MSP: Return to Send'er

Story: "Our story is about 4 guys."

Protagonists: Mark Abma, Karl Fostvedt, Sam Kuch, Logan Pehota as the "4 guys", plus various supporting actors.

Mood: Send it!

Quick verdict: Why not.

Level 1: Romance

Story: The twentieth and probably last full-length film from Level 1. No exaggerated nostalgia, lots of young talent, comparatively high urban content.

Protagonists: Many.

Mood: Happy & satisfied.

Quick verdict: Future classic.

Faction/ RB Snow: The Collective

Story: The Faction Team skis and sometimes falls down.

Protagonists: Faction Team.

Mood: Classic.

Tanner Hall : In the Meantime

Story: Tanner Hall

Protagonists: Tanner Hall

Mood: Tanner Hall

Fast forward: Tanner Hall

M-Line / Servus TV: 83° Ski the North

Story: Matthias M. and Matthias H., same principle as last year, this time Ellesmere Island instead of Antarctica. Something to do with climate change?

Protagonists: Matthias M., Matthias H., local people & sled dogs in supporting roles.

Mood: ???

Quick verdict: Probably another highlight for fans of the previous films.

Legs of Steel: 121

Story: No.

Protagonists: Ahmet Dadali, Markus Eder, Paddy Graham, Colter Hinchliffe, Bene Mayr, Hidemitsu Okada, Tanner Rainville, Tom Ritsch, Fabio Studer

Mood: You shouldn't watch the movie alone and use the hashtag #watchtogether to find friends to watch it with.

Quick verdict: Nice to watch on the side
