Hand Cut- A Ski Movie with Soul | Aspen, CO United States | 09/10/08, by gripnrip

Yep, it's that time of year again. Time for ski films that will get you psyched for the coming winter. Starting things off right, this Friday, September 12th, is the world premier of the new movie Hand Cut from Sweetgrass Productions, in which Nick Waggoner and crew explore the connection between our ski towns' mining roots, and our present search for the powder we cherish more than gold. Inspiring footage is paired with a great soundtrack to create a film that is both beautiful to watch and thoughtful at the same time. If you are in the Aspen area be sure to catch the premier at the Wheeler Opera House on Friday night at 7:30pm, it's gonna be rockin!
