2006 Cold Smoke Awards seeks submissions

Their updated website, www.coldsmokeawards.com, is complete with a new video teaser, listings of the 2005 winners and sponsors, a slide show from last year’s event, and current criteria for 2006. Check it out!
2005 flicks hailed from throughout the US and Canada and were judged as best powder, line, jib, crash, hairball and humor. Sponsored locally and nationally, Cold Smoke hosted 1000 people over the course of the week, as well as a seventies ski theme party to top off the grassroots “Academy Awards” of skiing. With more submissions, 2006 will be even better!
“We’re striving to preserve and kindle the spirit of winter’s culture,” says co-founder Jonas Grenz. By donating proceeds to Gallatin Avalanche Center and a ski program in Big Sky for at-risk youth, they’re doing just that. As skiers in Bozeman trust Doug Chabot with the local avalanche report, we believe him when he says, “Cold Smoke is gonna go big, there’s no question.”
