Team CLIF skiier Donny Roth sent us this report from his recent trip to Glacier National Park where Sweetgrass Productions is shooting for its latest film.  Donny had a chance to ski some amazing lines and ruminate on being the eldest member of his crew.  The fantastic images are courtesy of Ben Sturgulewski of Sweetgrass Productions.  Be on the lookout for the new film in the fall of 2013 - it should be another stellar celebration of winter.

Team CLIF skier Josh Daiek won the final round of the Subaru Freeskiing Word Tour on his home mountain - Kirkwood near Lake Tahoe, CA.  This was the last stop of a seven mountain tour and Josh used his local knowledge to move from second place overall to the title on the final day.  The event was held on the "forbidden Cirque" - a run in Kirkwood's backcountry that is normally closed.  The low snow fall this year left lots of rock features exposed and forced the athletes to rethink
