Most of the entries in The Adventure Life’s win-a-trip-to-Telluride contest (along with Wagner custom skis and some heli-skiing time) have been word-based–earnest and imploring, sincere and sweet. Then along comes this over-the-transom surprise, a short little video captured last weekend on Teton Pass, Wyoming, by Carson Stanwood. Perhaps the song, “Love Burns” by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, speaks to the feeling in one’s quads after the third or fourth lap? Well, it’s hard to say where the judges will land on this one in the final contest tally, but I’d say it darn well captures the feeling of powder skiing. And despite killing it all last week in Jackson, it makes me regret leaving the Tetons on Friday and not hitting the pass on Sunday, when this was shot.
