The thing I'm wondering about is the top sheet of his skis. Is it just an adhesive sticker or a full on custom ski?

I don't know, but STE seems to have $$ so the later would not surprise me.

I doubt they have tons of cash as much they know people. Of course Ben Leone IS a lawyer and may have that kind of cash. Then again he may know people.

Okay solved the ski mystery. Liberty is a ski company out of Colorado and the STE is one of their die cut decals. Makes it look pretty custom though.

I wonder where they skied? The water tower is on Rt 113 heading towards Fryeburg. I'm not sure of the landmarks after that. Any ideas?

I believe there was artistic license here and that the roads do not reflect their travels. I froze-frame my way through it and it was clear at 1:09 and 1:14, a sign indicating Route 112 was present. There was also a rotary at 1:10. Maine 113 is from Biddeford to Gorham MAINE. In NH, Rte 112 is the Kangamangus and then westward, the wrong direction. They also have the sun ahead and the sun behind them on various frames. The truck they followed had three words, "????? ????? Fuel" I think it's random footage spliced together.

Nice get billski...so much off-resort territory up here. Liberty's Helix..was thinking about grabbing it for this season but other things jabbed into the priority list...and ended up with a steal with the overkill Legend PR 115s...mainly to try in crud. Not my personal choice but will get me out once I pick up some bindings. Some areas close to Katahdin are usually deep but get wind-blasted=hard-edged...the PR 115s have little sidecut to get hooky so I was guessing might have a use in those conditions....
Could very well be snowseek... Was going to say along #201 towards Jackman....so many mountains look alike from a distance. Trees footage can be duplicated on so many mountains...small-to-moderate.
Lots of stuff northward from the Mahoosics(SR area) and SL/Bigelows....to the border @Jackman. Many other areas as well...but that snow just drives one crazy looking at it. Owning/renting the snowmobile can get you anywhere...a threesome is fun, rotate shuttle driver...two boot up to summit to ski...

Well, someone hadn't heard of "cotton kills" so I thought maybe you really didn't know.

Deer Pond Fuel on the truck. Ben also mentions the Gazetteer ( which is kept out of focus) showed a hike trail. I doubt any of that helps.

I like the webisode format they're doing this year. More variety and frequent stoke..and free to watch

Variety? Park or backcountry seems the same to me. The Traveling Circus has always been park and urban. I do like the "Working for the Weekend" series so far.

That would be my guess too.
I took a trip there back in 2010 and there is some decent skiable terrain to be found.
