JP Auclair Street Segment (from All.I.Can.) from Sherpas Cinema on Vimeo.

 Very Cool, the coolest thing about skiing through the "gulch" as it's known locally my dad skied those same streets some 70 years or so ago. They would get towed up to Rossland to Ski Monte Cristo Mtn, Red wasn't developed then,  they would ski all the way home to to where they Lived on Green Street in that same neighborhood. I suspect not with the same moves    Very cool thanks Jim, went right past my sisters house,  good composition but I bet someone else is paying for his ski's

Thank you very much for posting that, Bubba!  I saw the whole movie ("All.I.Can") in Nelson about a month ago, that was one of the best segments of the film (it was good overall, but not up to "Lifecycle" standards IMO).  Of course, when that segment finished, the whole theatre was cheering (Trail isn't too far away--and the very last scene, where the skier gets onto the bus, was filmed in Nelson--that's a Nelson bus AFAIK ("Uphill" is a neighbourhood in Nelson).

I lived not very far from where most of that was filmed for about 12 years; did a fair bit of skiing right out the door, but all cross-country (up the old rail grade to Rossland, and down again).  

Love it!

  :thumbsup:Best Youtube in ages! And that is saying something, since I just finished off a 1/2 hour of watching 'proximity wing-suit flying' (look it up!)... but that is a story for another day!

Very cool!  No need for spendy lift tickets, just ride the bus.
