Whistler, a film by Kate- coming soon

To everyone who has been anticipating the Whistler video since winter 2001, I am just about finished. I have about 10-20 minutes of non-stop action that everyone should see. Some stuff if sick. Some stuff is seriously not as cool as I remember it. I mean, not captured correctly on film. There was this one scene where Zoli and I went too far right and were way back in the trees, alone. We had no idea how to get down or the mountain or find anyone since there really seemed to be no down, just sort of across. At one point we were riding over snow that seemed like a trail, but on closer inspection was patches of packed snow covering gigantic crevices between boulders, hungry to eat little girls. I actually remember trying not to cry and asking myself why I even go snowboarding when I could knit or do crossword puzzles. Zoli, remember when we didn't know if we should go more left or keep straight? We chose left (because we are both really smart) only to look behind us and realize that a straight choice would have taken us over a ravine. So yeah, after all of this drama I thought I would take a video to have proof of the jungle-hell we got caught in trying to find fresh lines in the trees. I specifically remember that we needed to get to the other side of a river/stream gully. The only way across was either to walk and get swallowed by the monsters in there and never come out alive. OR ride across a fallen tree functioning as a rail slide and quickly turn right to avoid still-standing-tree on the other side. Zoli and I did this (at least we did in my memory) I nearly wet my pants. I took a video as proof. You know what?? The video looks like the most beautiful, serene, perfect, white, calm, winter-wonderland that most skiiers only dream of finding. There are no monsters or giant canyon crevices waiting to eat me. WTF? I am totally cutting that from the movie. There are enough scenes with gusting winds, huge air and pellets of snow to make everyone see how truly bad we are.

The movie should be ready shortly. I have to do it on Alexander's computer and the guy is seriously out of town with his computer or actually working on it just about all the time. Go figure. I have made all the cuts and am now putting some music to it. Any special requests to go with your riding scenes? I was thinking Big Pimpin by Jay Z.
