Swift. Silent. Deep. The Story of The Jackson Hole Air Force
Swift Silent Deep is the historical documentary of the Jackson Hole Air Force. In their heyday, the infamous ski fraternity chased powder lines beyond the resort boundaries that would lead to an eventual standoff with the ski patrol and resort powers.

Indoctrination of Utah Ski Kids
The Culture Vulture at the Salt Lake Tribune ponders the $23 field trip his child took at school. Grade schoolers are treated to a bus ride from the classroom to the resort, where they stand through some quick lessons before they start drifting sideways down the hill.
