Before departing he needed to get a little Colorado fix so he went and scouted the route to Janet's Cabin from Vail Pass. This is the way we will go to Janet's Cabin for our upcoming winter Backcountry film school. Check out pictures here!

Beginners welcome! Previous skiing experience and equipment are NOT a prerequisite. We will help you get the right gear and there are options from skis or snowboard to snow shoes to get where you need to be safely.

the Rocky Mountains to learn life-saving backcountry and avalanche
safety skills, all while making your own film. Expedition lodging includes snow camping and two nights with the group in a rustic
cabin. Join us this winter for an unforgettable experience!
Special backcountry highlights (in addition to our film school instructors) include:
Adventure Film School founder, Michael Brown, scouted our backcountry route from Vail Pass to Janet's Cabin last weekend and found a route peppered with great - easy to shoot - tree skiing and sublime views. Check out photos from the scout here.
Check out the write-up in Skiing Magazine, or the Behind-the-Scenes video from 2009 to get a feel for the 2010 adventure.
