On the road with the Powderwhore film tour

October 15, 2008

13 shows in 13 nights, Jonah and I embark on the first leg of the 30 city tour.

We hit the road bringing the stoke to the people and towing the schwagon wagon full of gear.

First stop was the Linen Building in Boise.

The crowd of 100+ was fired up about the flick and we raised money for Winter Wildlands.

We fit right in with the other big rigs on the road. Yes, we get many a strange look from people passing us on the freeway.

Driving into the beautiful town of Bend.

The St Francis is always one of the best stops along the way. Fun crowd, great venue and good beer.

150+ came out for some digital winter and to raise funds for Oregon Natural Desert Association. I have no idea what the “Clothing” sign means. Maybe it’s optional when it’s off?

Drove the rig through some snow as we drove the McKenzie pass en route to Eugene.

The Outdoor Program at Oregon University put together a fine show in Eugene. Our youngest crowd of nearly 80 students came out for some hot telemark action. Thanks to Jarl at the Berg Ski Shop for all his help. (I forgot to take any pics)

Life on the road, Jonah gets ready for bed in our luxury accomodations.

For the past 4 years we have shown at the Kennedy School in Portland. This venue is an old Elementary School that was converted into a hotel/bar/restaurant/theater.

It continues to be one of our largest draws and the 200+ crowd is out of hand (in a good way). There must be something in the beer (like beer maybe). A good bit of coin was raised for the local Snowrider Association ( A branch of the Surfrider Association).

We pulled into Hood River just in time to help local Jugglemarker Charlie Cannon with a fence building project.

No need for ladders when you’ve got mad bush balancing skillz!

Hood River showed up 80 strong to support their local ski-lebrity Charlie Cannon. The local nordic center also raised funds to groom their trails this winter.

Charlie and friends showed us a good time afterwards.

Sunday is a tough night to get a crowd out for a ski flick. Tacoma is more about quality than quantity with 12 proud souls showing up to win gear and get stoked for the skiing to come. (no pics) Many thanks to Backpackers Supply for hosting this event in their great little shop.

Heading north to Bellingham, The Pact played to an excited 100+ at the Chuchanut Brewery in a fun little covered outdoor venue.

Tonight is Seattle and then we head to Montana and Jackson Hole. Come out and see the action packed tele flick of the season and help support your local non-profit. The full tour schedule is available here-
