Carinthia at Mount Snow, VT is an entire mountain dedicated to park skiing and riding, making it the raddest place to lap jumps and rails in the East . At the end of the season, Ski The East had the privilege of working with mountain to create a Superpark out of the remaining snow.

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.

Pre-Order the DVD: skitheeast.net/shop/category/Movies Never let the weather get you down. Despite the East Coast's record-breaking mild winter of 2012, the Meathead crew still managed to sniff out the goods. Fighting low snowfall and mid-summer temps, they hurled themselves off buildings, bashed icy moguls, and plowed through some of the deepest Eastern powder ever filmed. Join their quest from Vermont to Quebec, including their first ever journey across the pond to Switzerland. In classic East Coast style, Meathead Films overcomes many a struggle and keeps things entertaining, No Matter What.
Nicky Hartmann, Sam Gnoza, and Zach Masi Take on brisk day at Sugarbush Parks.
Neo - new, modified A fresh crop of up-and-coming skiers joined with Meathead Films for the 2013 season. From gnarled trees to crisply shaped parks, Neo showcases this new talent that the East has to offer. Tag along with the Meatheads for their 12th winter and their first ever online exclusive movie series. New crew, new format, same great meaty flavor: Neo. First Episode Coming December 2013 Neo episodes will be released on SkiTheEast.net here: skitheeast.net/category/tv/meathead-films/neo/
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.
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?
The finale episode for the 2013 Carinthia Superpark... the best skiers from around the East Coast send it off a 70 ft. booter at Mount Snow, VT. A choice way to close out the season in late April.
Rails to Riches 2017 was not one to knock. The Ski The East Team, The finest east coast riders, and some folks from the west all put on a great show. Huge thanks to Killington and Mike Garceau for a killer weekend once again.

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!
Red Bull ReDirect is an urban freeski competition boasting the most innovative and challenging re-directional features in the sport today. On Friday, February 12th professional and amateur athletes alike were invited to face off in the first major ski event of its kind held in Quebec City?s downtown core.
Leveraging the citys iconic urban environment, existing landmarks and urban infrastructures was lit and repurposed as the basis for the course in lieu of traditional scaffolding elements. This innovative approach provided competitors a truly unique and genuine riding terrain.
A jam format was used to replicate a more authentic urban experience and allowed for more innovation and excitement. Ten international skiers met 6 local skiers and 4 Stairs Master wildcards in a battle for the Red Bull ReDirect trophy.

With winter on the way out, the crew headed to southern Vermont for some slushy laps at Mount Snow.
Last April, Ski The East and Meathead Films invited the best up-and-coming Eastern skiers to a Superpark shoot at Carinthia - Mount Snow. In this first of three Carinthia episodes the crew slays the custom built step-up jump... and in true Meathead fashion, even manages to bring home some venison for dinner.
The East Coast's premier Rail Jam, Rails to Riches, came back swinging this year. Huge Thanks to Killington and Mike Garceau for a great set up once again. ...

The crew got after it last season and slayed the powder, jumps, n' bumps for the cameras once again. After a pandemic hiatus we're proud to be back and stoked to present the continuation of our popular webisode series: Promised Land and Lappin.
The East Coast is a region of dreamers, deep snow, and drastic weather. When it's good out here, it's really good and when it's bad, well, it just builds character.
Though many Eastern skiers will venture to faraway lands during their lives, our Promised Land keeps them coming back. It's the camaraderie, the beauty of the struggle, and those wicked sweet Nor'eastah storms that makes it all worth it.

Go behind-the-scenes with Ski The East and Level 1 Productions as LJ Strenio and Will Wesson craft their urban segments for the Level 1 movie "Less." When a storm hits Will's home region of central New York, the crew works hard to build shots over the course of two grueling weeks on the road.
Is there such a thing as too deep? The record-breaking storm Stella of 2017 brought incredible amounts of snow to the forests of Jay Peak, VT. The Ski The East crew ventured out into chest deep snow during a truly memorable and exhausting day of blind turns, choking snow and sometimes simply being stuck. Basically, it was the best day ever.

Life Underwater - Flagship
In this first episode, Ben Leoni explains his motivations for starting the project and why the hell a certified ski bum decided to become a hard working attorney. With friends tagging along he endures the highs and lows of Eastern skiing: ice, wind, rain, and the occasional "perfect" day, all while hiking and shredding down the steepest, most iconic backcountry location in the region: Tuckerman Ravine, Mount Washington, NH.
Longtime Meathead Films veteran, Ben Leoni, is now living in Portland, Maine, holding down a career and the daily office grind. In between piles of paperwork, he dreams of his weekends in the mountains. Last season he made those dreams a reality. Ben spent the winter of 2013 skiing the Northeast without the aid of chairlifts. Showcasing legendary backcountry zones as well as hidden gems around New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine, "Working For The Weekend" is a groundbreaking new web series and the first of its kind in the region. From deep powder to treacherous ice, Ben and his crew of friends embody the "earn your turns" mantra for the East Coast. The 5 webisodes will be released starting this December on the Ski The East website here: skitheeast.net/category/tv/meathead-films/working-for-the-weekend/
