KLmountainshop.com was happy to co-sponsor Sherpas Cinema's All.I.Can premier last night in Burlington, Vermont down at the Main Street Landing. The film was, cinematically, one of the best ski films of the year. It wasn't all shock and awe, with non-stop park tricks and big mountain back flips. It tastefully brought out the largest lines and hucks throughout the entire movie with a higher meaning addressed in the end.
The beginning started with what seemed to be more of a Plant Earth feature than a ski movie. Images of city landscapes and the excesses of suburbanization and corporations left an impact on the audience through the remainder of the film. The second All.I.Can section starts the immersion and efforts of pushing the boundries of ski mountaineering and freestyle ski moves. Athletes like Kye Peterson, Ingrid Backstom, and Callum Pettit shred the highest peaks alsongside an orchestrated musical background, hitting each note with a simultaneous ski move. The idea that we are capable of such physically demanding adventures shows that we have the drive and ability to accomplish seemingly unattainable goals. This took the crowd to the next level, and delivered the final messaage. The last part of All.I.Can encourages each person to understand that they are essential to saving our winters by participating in efforts worldwide.
Overall, All.I.Can was an atypical ski film, with artfully constructed cinematography and even bigger ski lines. We give it five stars. *****
