Kananaskis Country Rescue Team

Tuesday, February 23, 2010

The two 43-minute videos -below- have been shot Kananaskis Country by a German team (for Arte TV, a bilingual French/German cultural TV network) in September of 2009. This movie has been scheduled for the European market and aired in February of 2010. It's been voiced over in French and German...We're trying to get a hand on the English-only version. If not, we'll post the English text.
We're showing you here the two full versions; in French and below the German one.







To know more about Kananaskis Country, you can go to the official website or browse through our webpages; we've got a Kananaskis Country section. Thumbs up to the incredible job they do!

Over 135 Videos for your enjoyment are now available!!

Sunday, January 10, 2010

Some of you might wonder what happened since our last post on December 18th last year...


Well we've been quite busy wrapping up our 2009 Photos/Videos contest. 
A few days left and we'll announce who's the next winner. Some of you might still not have seen their submission up here. It will come pretty soon now.

We also prepared you a surprise; we've been hunting down the world to find the best -winter sports- videos out there just for your pleasure.
So, as of today this website has an incredible amount of videos -135- even full feature movies. Of course the bulk of it is winter-related for now.
Two pages have been added, one on the films/movies we enjoyed. You can access this page called "Inspiring Movies" here. You'll be delighted to see there no less than 15 movies, 2 being full feature films. Some of these movies originated from Switzerland, Canada, USA, or France.

The second page we added is I'd say an "instructional" one. We gathered the best tips from the best pros out there. On this page you'll discover tips on how to improve your downhill ski, snowboard, free ski, cross-country ski, and telemark skills! As we are sometimes picky and we know there are lots of videos out there, we only picked the best to help you progress. 60 videos to enjoy!

You'll also see along the right side, some players with related videos. You don't want to miss them, they are very good.

(There is a page where you can upload your videos, there is also another one for your photos.

If you like -or dislike- something, or would like us to highlight or research on something don't hesitate to comment or write to us. We'd love to hear from you.

What else? During these days, we've uploaded more stories and you can usually find them at the bottom of each section. There are almost a hundred of stories and we'll be adding more. As usual, this website gets new content every day. So keep coming back as more surprises will eventually come.
To facilitate your navigation through our website. we've added a stories site map, this is the place where you'll find them all. A stories -only- search engine has also been added. More contributors have been added to our already long list...

We also encourage you to visit our sponsors -hand-picked- on the right side. Did you know you can book your next trip to the mountains through our website as we partnered with Expedia?

Last thing for today, you might want to check what Bob (Harris) is "twitting". He'll pretty soon will have more than 2000 trusting followers. This technology is really giving opportunities to discover in no time some neat stuff happening around.
