Grassroots Powdersurfing brings you two days of tree riding, pillow pouncing and pow slashing through burnt forests in the Sawtooth Mountain Range, riding the best binding-free powsurfers in the world.

Powsurf Riders: Jeremy Jensen, Dave Smellie, Craig Stevenson, Jeff Tulloch, Erik Nelson, Cole Thompson.

Music: Sidestreet Reny “Roots Reality”  http://www.sidestreetreny.com

A chronological journey taking us 8 years into the past starting with the development of the first ever split-powsurfer prototypes on earth and moving forward through years of development that led us to where we are today with the latest Grassroots Splitsurfers.

At Grassroots we have been splitsurfing almost as long as we have been powdersurfing. The “Transformer” is our latest invention that brings amazing access to riders all over the world. The “Transformer” splitsurfer is designed to excel as a powsurfer but also allows the rider the option of riding with bindings to help get out of packed out trails, poor snow conditions at lower elevation, and to open up tons of side country access outside resorts.

We are mountain people. Born in the alpine, our souls soar with the eagles and our hearts are clear and run with the purpose of cascading creeks. For us, the season of winter is a gift, blanketing everything anew like a canvas, which calls for an interaction with the slopes of the world.

In winter, snow is our purpose for existence. Like the bubbling stream, it is our source of water- our source of life. The health of our forests, and our happiness is intertwined with it. Driven by stories of the mythical “Deep Snow Awesomeness!” of Niseko Japan, The Life Cosmic Project went in search of the wonderful. What we discovered was a fountain of youth, a prayer answered endlessly.

This film is our totem to that spirit.

About the Flow Riders:

Aaron Lebowitz  created The Life Cosmic Project as a collective of mindful individuals focused on our relationship with the elements. His favorite medium is the snowboard, of which he explores an intimate connection with mountains. His lines are a conscious calligraphy upon the snow-covered slopes.

Lefteri Alexander (Alx) is a third generation photographer and teacher of consciousness through a multidisciplinary and dimensional lens, transcends the literal and allegorical, weaving spiritual exegesis into the practice of spiritus itself, the thread of the many garments into one.

We wish to thank Niseko United for the hospitality and plenty of fresh “Japow” for us to explore. Thank you to Taro Tamai of Gentemstick Snowsurf Designs for sharing with us the consciousness of creating a life honoring our relationship with nature through the lens of snowboarding. Special thanks to Sweetgrass Productions for inspiring our own dreams with their film Signatures 4 years ago.

Respect to the spirits of the snow, mountains, and forests of Japan. We hold you in reverence.

And to everyone we met along the way…We carry you in our hearts- Thank you.

The Life Cosmic Project is dedicated to the exploration, cultivation, and perpetuation of “Stoke!” as a virtue by which happiness is experienced and shared.
