I am all booked for my annual retreat to the mountains, which means I now have snowboarding on the brain. This year we are headed back to Whistler (/Powder Mountain) so that we can all check [heli boarding](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfvYydkw0ww) (and heli skiing) off the bucket list. That’s one goal – among a few others – that I plan to accomplish in 2017.

If you don’t snowboard (or ski), this probably means nothing to you. It can be hard to explain the feeling. Thankfully, [Christian Haller](https://www.instagram.com/hitschhaller/) (Swiss snowboarder), Kris Lüdi, and Stephan Maurer have just released a short film that may very well be the closest approximation to the real thing. It’s called [GLUE](https://vimeo.com/190544188).

The whole point of the movie is to portray, in an authentic and visual way, what it’s like to snowboard. To do that, a lot of the footage was shot using a “follow cam.” There are also a lot of close-up shots. I just love the perspectives when it kicks in at 1:50.

If you can’t see the video below, [click here](https://vimeo.com/190544188). And if snow and snowboarding aren’t your thing, check back tomorrow for regular scheduled programming.
