Video: Generations trailer

Generations isn’t just another ski movie by Teton Gravity Research. It’s about climate change as seen through the eyes of those who live for the snowy winters.

The short film will be available in October online and will also premier at film festivals this northern hemisphere winter. According to Protect Our Winters (POW), the non-profit organisation which helped plan the film, Generations “Goes beyond charts and numbers. The film humanizes the debate on climate change by exploring the fragility of winter and the intrinsic value of snow to people across generations and cultures.”

“The film poignantly captures cultural and personal responses from those to whom mountains and snow represent an irreplaceable way of life, ending with ways for everyone to take part in the solution.”

Generations is sponsored by The North Face and Clif Bar and features Jeremy Jones, Sage Cattabriga-Alosa, Seth Morrison, Ingrid Backstrom, Dash Longe, Dr. David Shearer (Climatologist), Ed Stygles (Vermont Farmer), Bill Jenkins (Former Ski Area Owner), Elizabeth Burakowski (Climatologist University of New Hampshire), Randall Osterhuber (Researcher Central Sierra Snow Laboratory), Piere Schropff (Chamonix Mountain Guide) and others.
