"Blizzard of AAHs" Opening Credits - Greg Stump

"Blizzard of AAHs" is probably the best ski movie ever made, and Greg edited it at our facility in Portland, Maine. This was our fifth movie with Greg. We had just finished our new 1" editing suite (1988), and this sequence features some title manipulations using our (at the time) new $70,000. DVE box.

BOAs brought a lot of things together: the triple star power of Schmidt, Hattrup, and Plake; some amazing photography by Bruce Benedict, the cutting-edge music of ZTT Records/Trevor Horn, and Greg's wonderful sense of style and humor.

One of the best written/directed ski movies ever! Can't tell you how many times I would watch this before my ski sessions to get pumped. It's a legacy ski flick for sure. Thank you all who put their creativity into this film.

I think I see lots of Finnish design clothes colours here. They were made by Torstai not so far where I'm living.

Fundamental movie that drove me to the Alps, setting up as a ski pro in Val d'Isere. Awesome old film.

I can only imagine what these guys in their prime could do with equipment we have now. Also it really makes me laugh when people say that snowboarding was what brought on freeskiing.

Ummm, does anyone else get the feeling that "The Blizzard of AAH's" sounds more like a porno?

How do you spell EXTREME? - PLAKE, STUMP, SCHMIDT....This Video put Extreme SKiing on the Map imagine if it was filmed in High Def! I met Plake at Heavenly's 50th Anniversary and he has not changed.....the original BAD BOY....the movie is now on DVD!

There were other movies before it, but this was the first that really gave us that look into what alternative/extreme skiing could and would become. So many of us remember watching this with wide eyes and realizing that's all we wanted in life was to ski like Glen Plake or Scott Schmidt. I'll never forget the first time I heard that narration, "Glen Plake...Ultimate Extreme Skiier...Original BAD BOY." Man, I'm going to go pull out the old VHS and watch it again. Catch ya on the slopes!
