"On The Road with Solitaire" is a 12-part webisode series following Sweetgrass Productions in the making of their new 2-year project, the South American backcountry ski and snowboarding film "Solitaire." New episodes will be released on the 21st of every month. Episode I introduces Solitaire and some of the landscapes the crew encountered in their first season of filming in the snowbound badlands of the Southern Hemisphere. In the high desert of South America, winter takes hold, devouring bleached bones and abandoned shacks. Into these most inhospitable of lands, a handful of drifters emerge from the whiteout, ready to cast their lot on forsaken peaks both merciless and magnificent. Solitaire fuses western-inspired tales of backcountry gambles into landscapes never before visited on film. sweetgrass-productions.com

They allude to it in the final sentence below, but this is my rebuttal to Unofficial Jackson?s complaints about today?s conditions. Oh, and the mother nature will have added 5-10? by tomorrow when you watch this. "The inbounds skiing on Jackson is still recovering. The upper elevations north facing shots still have a chalky softer base for this new snow to sit upon. But, most of the mountain still needs more snow to cover up this hard base left from the warm week. If you are willing to do some walking or skinning, there is still some great snow."

Matt Reardon back on skis and charging for Nuit de la Glisse. Matt used to be a regular in many ski movies including ours, after refining the art of skiing big lines and hucking huge cliffs over many years living in chamonix, and following great success in Freeride competiitons and films, Matt took several years out of the sport to concentrate on touring with his band. A few albums later he is back in Chamonix, and Thierry and the Crew were about to capture what happened on film!
