So someone at Fuel TV is really liking Bend. In the recent installment of “Snowboard Diaries,” a documentary style show that follows some of the best riders in the world through a winter season, they tail Hampus Mosesson, and Jacob Wilhelmson as they film for their new production company Actionhorse Films.
They crew meets up in Bend to sample Hames Ellerbe’s park and meet up with Bendite Austin Smith.
A warning to Bachelor Season Pass holders from last season: watching this may in fact piss you off, seeing Bachelor shut down for the end of the season with snow still falling, and bluebird powder days. Why oh why did they close so early?

Sorry, but there’s not enough content in the article for appropriate commend and making a snowboarding movie must be a fleeting passion with little or now redeeming value.
Please use your spellcheck before posting.
I agree – what the heck kind of article ws that? Lame…. wow another local snowbarder who thinks he’s hot….. look at me, I am so good…. getting too old this local Bendite… this article was not even worth publishing. Raise the standards please!!
True. The post could have talked about the effort put in by the mountain to host some of the world’s best snowboarders, or what it takes to organize photo shoots here and elsewhere in the ski industy. Or talked about how Fuel TV is broadcast across the country and efforts like these help to show Mt B and Bend to a wider audience of potential visitors. Or a host of other topics that would illuminate. Alas, it took a shot at MT B and that was that.
In general this blog has been cool. Nice to see winter topics covered. Of course I as the MT B rep, would appreciate not seeing a token bash in most mentions. Granted, we have a lot of work to do to see/earn that practice tailing off. Efforts underway! 🙂
