Thursday, October 26th: Winter has been cleared for liftoff! With the opening scenes of the Annual Mt. Baker Film Festival's first offering, winter officially began and the Mt. Baker Theater's sold-out crowd of 2,000 went berserk. The year's festival featured works from local as well as legendary filmers. Standouts included Teton Gravity Research,Think Thank Films,One Ball Jay, and Volcom. During Volcom's Escramble, When the lift started and the music kicked in the crowd absolutely roared! If you haven't yet seen this year's videos get out down to your retialer, grab a couple, run home, put on your shred gear, and jib the furniture. Bomb Drops off the back deck? It can be done. 50/50's down the stairwell? Now that's urban jibbing. Afterward the real party got going at the Wild Buffalo which included a slideshow from local photgos Grant Gunderson, Mike Stamm, Josh Thompson, and Mike Yoshida and others. Dancing and general mayhem ensued Gunderson lost his cell phone and ended upon the floor, and, as one bystander put, "All I know is those Howat girls can really shake it!" Huge thanks to Mt. Baker Ski and Snowboard Area for a proper winter kickoff.
