by SkiTheEast...
Aug 2010 - 13.8K views

Subaru of New England presents an East Coast Ski Thriller by Meathead Films "Work It Out"

From record-breaking 5 foot blizzards in Washington DC to 10 inches of rain in New England, Meathead Films spent the winter of 2010 scouring the East Coast on the hunt for epic days. No matter the weather or personal fatigue, the crew was forced to roll with the punches and just work it out.

Tag along as the Meathead's relentless search takes them to the craggy White Mountains , urban alleyways of Maine, custom park jumps in New Jersey, and even to the Far East of Hokkaido, Japan on their first ever overseas voyage. Filmed in High Definition, 16mm, and Super 8mm film, "Work It Out" showcases the unwavering determination it takes to be an Eastern skier.

Meathead Films - 2 Minute Work Outs #6: Stowe

by SkiTheEast...
Aug 2010 - 8.1K views

It was a fairly lackluster winter for the Meatheads' home mountain of Stowe, Vermont, but this crew knows where to find the stashes when it counts. They took advantage of the infrequent storms that blew through the area, and as anyone who has skied Stowe with a seasoned local knows, it doesn't take a lot of snow to make the woods shredable. Longtime Stowe ripper Jay Bowen led the charge along with Dan Marion and Stacey Rachdorf. Care to sample some sidecountry?

Meathead Films - 2 Minute Work Outs #7: Nation's Capital

by SkiTheEast...
Aug 2010 - 8.3K views

Last February, the Mid-Atlantic region received a three-foot snowfall followed a few days later by another two-foot dump, something that's never happened in recorded weather history there. Naturally, the Meatheads were following these biblical events closely and gathered an urban shred crew of Andy Parry, Shea Flynn and Will Wesson to look for skiable terrain. Shooting freeskiing in downtown DC is no easy task. Sneaking around with generators, winches, gasoline, cords, lights, tripods and camera equipment is virtually impossible with guards and police all over the National Mall area. However, with the insane blizzard having turned downtown into a virtual post-apocalyptic zone, the athletes were able to find the goods and (mostly) stay out of trouble. America truly is the greatest.

Neo Five: Carinthia Superpark Rails, Bails, and Balls

by SkiTheEast...
Feb 2014 - 4.6K views

With the continuation of our Mount Snow/Carinthia Superpark shoot in April, the skiers set up some unique rail features to session. Jamie Ficco gets nicked in the back with a BB gun but still manages to through down on the burly quad kink and the gap-to-wave-rail allows for some sick variations. The wrecking ball was lead carinthia parks guru, Day Franzen's brainchild. And although it closely resembles Miley Cyrus's swing into infamy, this was actually set up months before that video ever came out. Therefore you won't see anyone swinging naked from it... sorry. Special Thanks to: Day Franzen, Dave Meeker, Mount Snow, Carinthia Parks Crew, the liftees and everyone else who helped out!

Working For The Weekend 3 - White Mountain Chutes

by SkiTheEast...
Mar 2014 - 935 views

With conditions doubtful, Ben and Louise hike for miles into the NH backcountry in search of good snow. The hardwork pays off and they're rewarded with huge, open, untracked powder down some remote rock slides. Soon afterwards it snows 18" in the region and Ben is sure one of his favorite chutes is ready to rock. When hiking up, however, he discovers that all there is is pretty much rock. The fresh snow has blown away in the fierce winds. All is not lost, though, and at the top the crew discovers an amazingly narrow pincher chute like nothing they've seen before.
