Under the Influence
Teton Gravity Research
Outside of Movie of the Year and Best Male Performance, Best P.O.V. proved to be the most difficult category to judge in 2009. With nearly every skier sporting a helmet cam these days, they are capturing on-slope perspectives never before seen. Add in the evolution of cable cams, helicopter cameras, and follow cams, and viewers are watching more moving perspectives than ever. But it’s hard to deny the on-slope perspective, especially when Sage Cattagbriga-Alosa skis a steep, blind spine line on dreamy Alaskan snow. Instantly, the viewer feels there with Sage as you wiggle and gasp and hoot as he descends.
