Back to Powder

About This Movie

Back to Powder stands out, not just for being OXBOW's first all-backcountry snowboard film, but for its raw portrayal of the sport. The film captures the essence of snowboarding with its stunning natural landscapes and the camaraderie among the riders. Each segment feels like a personal journey, with the riders – JP Solberg, Kalle Ohlson, Thomas Gérin, and others – showcasing their unique styles against breathtaking backdrops. The pacing is intriguing, almost meditative at times, allowing viewers to soak in the atmosphere of pristine powder snow. It's a distinctive take on snowboarding, focusing on the thrill of the ride over flashy tricks, which gives it a grounded feel. It’s quite a niche piece, really.

Back to Powder is somewhat of a hidden gem in snowboard film collections, as its release has been somewhat overshadowed by more mainstream titles. It’s not widely available, which adds to its allure among collectors looking for something a bit different. The film has seen limited releases and is often sought after by fans of the backcountry scene, making it a unique find for those who appreciate the aesthetic and culture of snowboarding.
