Subaru of New England
Subaru of New England is our presenting sponsor. They are providing Meathead Films with a Subaru Outback to meet our many transportation needs while on the movie tour and filming throughout the season.
There is obviously a reason why you see so many Subaru's in New England. The Outback gets amazing gas mileage for an all-wheel drive vehicle (28 mpg on the highway) and handles extremely well in the snow. Meathead Films has used Outbacks for several years to travel to and from the mountains, even before we had the sponsorship. The car has delivered us safely every time, even when we drove all night through the biggest snowstorms of the year (to Mt. Greylock, MA, in January 2005 comes to mind). It allowed us be at the right place at the right time to score the deepest powder days of the season.
We are excited to be working closely with a sponsor that caters to the Eastern skier and manufacturers a product that can consistently handle the toughest New England weather.
Eastern Mountain Sports
Stowe Mountain Resort
It's impossible to say too much about Stowe. Quite simply, it is the greatest place to ski or ride on the East Coast. Hands down, Stowe has it all.
Stowe has been Meathead Films' home mountain for the past six years. Located on Mt. Mansfield, Vermont's highest peak, Stowe has a vertical drop of 2,360 ft and an average snowfall of 333 inches. Fast lifts give you access to huge amount of terrain including their famous glades, steep groomers and bumps, and top-to-bottom terrain parks.
Make sure to check out the featured segments on Stowe in our movies, something that we include every year. Meathead Films produced a Stowe Team Video for the resort this season entitled Stowked. The DVD will be given out for free by the resort and showcases their talented team of young freestyle skiers and riders. Click here to learn about their season pass programs or visit them at:
Kombi
Kombi has been providing our gloves, mittens, and base layers since 2004. All of their products have stood up to our rigorous beatings and kept our skiing (and filming, photographing, shoveling, driving) hands in perfect shape in order to take full advantage of apres ski beverages. The signature glove of Meathead Films is the "Captain America." Full of leather, full of American pride, these gloves make quite a statement on the hill. Make sure to check out their full line on their website:
LINE
LINE skis has their homegrown roots in the East just like us. Tired of straight, stiff skis, Jason Levinthal began creating twin tipped ski boards in his parents Buffalo, NY garage in 1995. After years of experimenting, testing and just plain hard work, LINE has now become the symbol of progression and innovation in the world of skiing. LINE can be credited with the first "real" twin tip ski (equal height tip and tail) and the first fat twin tip for powder. The 2008 skis include everything from a butter-zoned park ski (the Invader) to a hard chargin' backcountry model (the Prophet) to ground-breaking super soft powder boards (the EP Pro). Meathead Films used LINE skis to conquer every type of mountain and urban terrain while filming for Wanderland. Choose LINE... because skiing needs a future.
Clif Bar
Clif Bars keep us going. Though steaks and hamburgers might be our leisure meal of choice, it's Clif Bars that power us on the road and during long days in the mountains. Clif Bars are made from organic ingredients and provide sustained energy in 14 different flavors. Our favorite? Probably Cool Mint Chocolate or Crunchy Peanut Butter. Clif Bars taste ridiculously good and never freeze when we're skiing. We throw a bar in our pocket whenever we travel into the backcountry. Check their in-depth site for more info:
FU-R Headwear
FU-R Headwear (pronounced F-U-R) is based in Morrisville, VT. This relatively new company has gained attention in the freeskiing and snowboard worlds with their fasion-fused-with-function designs.
