The Blizzard of Aahhh's

[@easternyellowjacket276]

This video changed my life. Watching this in the early 90's compelled me to give up everything, drive cross country and ski Squaw Valley. Went there for several years. Changed my life for the better and turned me into a man.

[@mikeauxbig]

Same here. I'm still in the Eastern Sierra 30 years later. Got two acres with a creek and still ski 100 days a year all thanks to this damn film.

[@asterixinbritainsteve8868]

This was groundbreaking. The production coupled with music from Propaganda was a match made in heaven. I remember as an English teenager skiing in the French Alps with Propaganda in my head and the images of Glen Plake skiing moguls. I was never that good but thanks to Plake I did learn to monoski which was really cool. Thank you guys!!

[@jamestyler3449]

I still do that if I'm skiing on my own - airbuds in, Propoganda or Seal blaring.....

[@stevencoardvenice]

I'm American and when I was little kid in 1989 90, there would be videos of plake with his Mohawk playing on all the TVs at the ski lodges on the mountains here. I would just look in awe at the size of the jumps these guys were doing

[@themudsnarkchannel8237]

​@jamestyler3449 incredible!!! I thought I was the only dipwad still doing that. Propaganda. ACT, Seal, cpla more. Still have my mp3 player with Different sets: crusin' tunes, pure bumps etc.

[@BqgWyy]

"Bro if u can't ski bumps, u can't ski"

[@paulfrance5059]

Most of the tracks are not Propaganda, but singer Claudia Brücken singing with a band called ACT. You can find the tracks on the album Laughter Tears and Rage.

[@a1kilthire]

I watch this with a racing 🏁 heart ♥, my youth, the DREAMS, anticipation, potential, what was yet is no more ................. I'm a better skier than Plake ever was yet he dominates my soul. He is my hero and a living legend. LONG LIVE THE PLAKE LONG LIVE THE KING 👑

This was the beginning of the end of an era of skiing; before short, narrow waisted carving skis were in vogue. I was teaching at Vail at the time the Bilzzard of Ahhhs!! came out, and it was exactly what we all wanted to emulate. Those were the dazzzze.

[@peterschancel7223]

So true ... Skiing in the Banff Area into the Kootenays cruzing on 207s doing bumps and always having a pair of 218 cm super g boards from the Canadian national Team for going big..Funny when these Stump Movies came out The Word Was Extreme.... We all joked..... we had been doing it for years...didn't seem extreme .. just skiing little speed skiing , downhills , .. remember gelande .. been in 4 Avalanches .....Now I only ski 20cm plus Powder Days ...What a life .. nobody can take millions of vertical ft of ski lines away from the memory .. We lived/ live in the real .. best to all.

[@scottymac5174]

@@peterschancel7223 These guys were doing this on 210cm plus skiis. Below 200cm you were a Pus.

Back Bowls, busting crust.

[@bobk3432]

What a movie! I must have rented it ten times from our local skate shop. Amazing how modern skis make this terrain so much easier to ski.

[@skibumhighway1819]

Born in Anchorage, AK 1978. Me and my friends didn’t just worship this film (watched over 100 times) we emulated this style of radical skiing in arguably the most extreme place on earth. In the 80s it was all neon ski coats, flashy bindings, long boards, long poles, hats with style and my god the memories of a sunny day after 36 inches of powder! I met my maker in those moments at Alyeska resort in Girdwood, AK. Out of bounds was the norm and the freedom of expression was yours for the taking. This movie literally changed my life! Much love my friends.

[@tz4637]

Rasta Steve would be appalled at Telluride now.

[@charlesruffing5606]

This movie changed everything and was the catalyst and original spark of everything X to come. This movie showcased snowboarding, and inline skating to millions for the first time. The X Games and freestyle skiing and the intro of Snowboarding into the Olympics all can give homage to what was created here and what it meant to the skiing/snowboarding extreme sports world back in the 80's and still to this day.

AND MOGULS IN THE OLYMPICS

[@airex12]

Beautiful film, thank you for uploading. Had this on VHS as a kid. This and Warren Miller’s 50 were childhood staples

[@scottymac5174]

I actually still have this film on VCR. A bunch of old ski movies.

[@ssc280]

Greatest era of skiing

[@mikeauxbig]

agreed

[@timwallace7561]

Absolutely love this film. I had it on video back in the day. Met Glen Plake at the Daily Express Ski Show in the 80s too - good times 💯🥳

[@themudsnarkchannel8237]

Gave my daughter a Plake bobblehead, signed by him. Still one of her cherished possessions.

[@skimckay]

Best Ski Film of All Time

[@themudsnarkchannel8237]

Tough call. But as an old bump dog, my heart belongs with Fistful of Moguls. However, Blizzard is THE classic of all time.

[@BqgWyy]

Birdhouse the end is best skate video

[@daviddunlop7661]

Walked the aisle to 'Maximum Joy' in 2019. Say no more.

[@Dblock8998]

Do you know how long I’ve been trying to find this on KZbin?!

[@scottymac5174]

Growing up and seeing Squaw then. Day in. day out. To me, it will Always be Squaw.

Absolutely Immune baby!

Neither Fire Earthquake Or explosions.....

[@DCU88]

Stump needs a youtube channel with all his movies.

[@DCU88]

agree! My copy of blizzard was played so many times the sound track was off Plake's voice would come out of hattrup. Yes, I was one of those runny nose kids at the ski shop.

[@BqgWyy]

​@@DCU88 I thought Mohawk guy was a God when I caught glimpses of him on the TV screens in the ski lodges here in California. It was mind-blowing This one dude told his daughter not to look!!! Lol. Bad example I guess

[@claudegesta2146]

True to this!

[@Atraslin]

Best ski movie ever!!!!!!!!!!

[@amerz2477]

Wish they would re release in 4k

[@ronfeast932]

Plakey may not be popular in Tahoe but he's big around here.

[@scottymac5174]

I grew up right after Hot Dog, The Movie.

[@scottymac5174]

Back when Squaw was Squaw.

[@HeeHawCapital]

never skied before, saw this, then licensed to thrill then Grove which taught me how to do the Schmidt smear turn with style, 70 days perseason

[@BqgWyy]

You wish you were as smooth as Schmidt bro lol
