SESSION 1 AT 1.10PM:
DIRTY LAUNDRY
The first full movie from the KSM has arrived! With gnarly British ripping all over Europe and America, from the Brits in Laax with a giant kicker session the week after, to cliffs in Engelberg and Spring Park in Mammoth. Edited to a hardcore rock soundtrack by Andy Bennett and Slavemonkey. If you like carnage you will love Dirty Laundry.
TRY.FAIL.TRY
Another comprehensive intelligence report on the skiing capabilities of some of the best riders around Europe. RCP has travelled the globe to bring you the finest of the 2005 season... from assaults on the massive kickers in Laax, to night sessions in Iceland, to tech rails skills in mammoth, RCP is documenting riders who are truly pushing the limits of possibility. Make no mistake, this really is weapons grade material! Filmed at locations all over the globe, such as: France, USA, Austria, Iceland, Canada, Switzerland, and more... Featuring the skiing of: Paddy Graham, Fabien Maierhofer, Pierre Guyot, Murray Buchan, Tom Last, Jean-Nicolas Bouchard, Andy Bennett, Jean-François Houle, Andy Collins, Laurent Thevenet, Mike Wakefield, Mathias Wecxsteen, Slavemonkey, Nick Southwell, Woodie Bouma and many more...
TEDDY BEAR CRISIS
The Teddybear gang sets themselves apart from the beginning by delivering a ski film that is truly out of the box, a new style with a fresh look at insane action. Legendary film maker Kris Ostness (Wind-Up Films/Flying Circus) has teamed up with new school film maker Henrik Rostrup (Push Films/Not Another Ski Movie) to form the company Teddybear Crisis. The crew revisits the classic Utah gaps that Ostness/Wind-Up Films pioneered years ago and discovers a few new ones on the way. Upper/Lower Flagstaff and Pyramid are all mandatory 90 foot gaps but pale to Tanner Hall hitting 120 foot Chad's Gap skiing backwards at 53mph and stomping a switch 900! Lots of travel, backcountry gaps and booters, supersized parks, gaps over half pipes, freeskiing in the Alps, Alaska, and Utah. Teddybear Crisis has it all in a well rounded movie. All the top riders - Tanner Hall, Jon Olson etc.

SESSION 2 STARTS 6.30PM, SUNDAY 11 DECEMBER
SHANGHAI SIX

Directed by Josh Berman, skiers include Tanner Rainville, Corey Vanular, Steele Spence, Matt Sterbenz, John Symms and many more.
WAR
Johnny Decesare is back with another Poorboyz Production! War will feature a mix of big mountain skiing, park, and a ton of urban rails. Skiers will include Candide Thovex, Anthony Boronowski, Jon Olsson, JP Auclair, Kristi Leskinen, Zach Davison and the long awaited return of Pep Fujas. Hang on to your seats, this one’s gonna be good!
