There’s one thing within the water out in Southwest Montana that forges a distinct breed. Possibly it’s the arctic winds that funnel within the plentiful chilly smoke snow. Possibly it’s the military of 30-year-old Ford F sequence vans rolling coal down principal streets close to and much. Or maybe it’s the Southern Cali transplants who’re slowly making small cities into the costly luxurious paradises they had been destined to be. Thanks, Cali! Regardless of the case, the Bridger, Madison, Gallatin and Spanish Peaks mountain ranges have produced unbelievable skiers from Scott Schmidt to Jake Hopfinger. Some had been born there, some voyaged to the promised land later in life. However no matter their story, they unite over a standard love of steep runs, deep snow and sufficient Rainier to kill an elephant.
Out of this insanity has come three crews from Bozeman: Carnage, Bandits and Entourage.
Carnage is the grandpa of the trio, having extra information, expertise, unhealthy deeds and movies underneath its belt. Carnage has constructed a devoted following with its 4 films over the past 5 years, each higher than the final. “Carnage Vs. The World” is sadly the grand finale two-year challenge from the group.

Final however not least, Entourage has upped the sport with their 2023 movie, “Get Burnt,” full with stellar cinematography, enhancing and, in fact, snowboarding. Discover one other crew with a telerail phase. I’ll wait.
General, these three homegrown movies are examples of how nice of a challenge you may make simply with your pals. Collect spherical now, it’s time for the Montana Triple Header.
CARNAGE
“Carnage Vs. The World” is a top-dollar two-year challenge that was nicely definitely worth the wait. The workforce is sadly disbanding, however hold an eye fixed out for skier/filmmaker Jonah Elston as he’ll doubtless be behind the lens together with his brother, skilled snowboarder Jared Elston. Thanks, Carnage, for placing coronary heart and soul into these films over the previous few years.
BANDITS
Yee Haw, brother. It’s the Bandits… UNCHAINED. Enterprise is certainly boomin’, as you may see. Righteous snowboarding with a aspect of comedy—an unbeatable mixture. The Bandits take their snowboarding severely with out taking themselves severely, and we will all study from that. Hopefully, we shall be seeing extra from them this winter!
ENTOURAGE
Entourage is on the prime of their recreation. “Get Burnt” is 40 minutes of pure warmth. Phrase on the road is that they had the premier of the century in Bozeman. Most likely the music that helped make it. This actually is a stellar crew with a variety of expertise. It’s bought teleskiing, snowboarding, avenue snowboarding, huge kickers and pillow traces.
In reality, these films are all the pieces that’s proper with snowboarding lately—grassroots crews consisting of people that simply wish to get on the market with a digicam and their pals. Large cash productions may draw the headlights, however these are the movies that get remembered as a result of each is exclusive. They don’t mix collectively. Every stands out in the very best method. Cheers to everybody getting after it for the sake of getting after it!
