Hey all,

If anyone wants to take a brief look back at winter and skiing, hear me out! I just completed my senior year at Milton Academy in Milton. MA and spent the month of May working on my senior project. I decided to create a documentary on skiing and meteorology, focusing on the future of the ski industry in the east. The movie is titled "Patterns". I met with several familiar faces, including Dr. Judah Cohen and Tim Kelley to help shape my movie. I also met with Powder Magazine editor Porter Fox and Mt. Abram GM/Mountain Riders Alliance co-founder Dave Scanlan.

The final product is a 34 minute documentary divided into four parts.
(Intro) The Love of Skiing
1. The Origin of Our Snow
2. Documenting the Past and recording the future (essentially a Blue Hills Observatory plug)
3. Changing patterns, Changing ski seasons.



I think you all, no matter your stance on the situation, will find my final revelation to be intriguing.

The video is titled "Milton Academy edition" because I had to premiere this movie live to students at my school and there are a few stories by students included in the intro which were more geared to get my friends laughing rather than for content. I may re-release Patterns in a few weeks with these stories edited out.

Anyways, if this interests you, check it out! Let me know what you think

P.S: I would recommend watching on either 720p or 1080Hd resolutions. In addition, a few years ago I told a few of you that I was in college. Don't know why I did that, but I'm sorry for misleading you all.

Nice job, dude. Glad I went to high school back when the toughest part of senior year was just showing up.
