2005 POWDER VIDEO AWARDS

07 February 2005


YearbookYearbook, Matchstick's all conquering ski movie, dominated the 2005 Powder Video Awards held at Aspen last week.

The highlight of the evening was phenomenon Shane McConkey winning the Amstel Light Full Throttle for the second year in a row. Shane continues to change the face of skiing with dramatic BASE-jump, allied to hard-charging skiing.
