"As lovers of deep snow, crazy skiing, and endless stoke, ski movies have captivated riders since the 1950s when Warren Miller began releasing films. Ski movies have transformed over the past 70 years, with an avalanche of films after the release of The Blizzard of Aahhh's in 1988 Matchstick Productions and Teton Gravity Research. These major production crews put together exceptional, high cost, and helicopter-ridden ski movies on terrain that most riders will only see in their dreams."
"Smaller indie producers craft unique and masterful videos in the streets, hiking in the backcountry, or just ripping up the open slopes. The Newschoolers awards try to level the playing field and pit major production movies against smaller crew films, to choose the movie with the gnarliest tricks, best production, biggest impact, and most unique style to win movie of the year. This year the film TKO by MAGMA, with riders Alex Hall and Hunter Hess, filmed and produced by Owen Dahlberg, won first prize."
