Ah here.

Poland-packed, pacific pollock pretending to be paddies?

Called into local Tesco on Monday evening and lifted a box of fish branded “Donegal Catch”. What a misrepresentation – Alaska pollock caught in the Pacific and packaged in Poland! Hasn’t ever came close to anywhere in Ireland. Needless to say I put it down and bought chicken instead.

Skier Cody Townsend takes a straight line down one of the gnarliest vertical chutes of the Alaska Tordrillos Mountain Range, earning himself the “Best Line” award at the 15th annual Powder Awards.

And fresh pants, presumably.

A segment from Afterglow, which, according to producers Sweetgrass, has been hailed as:

…one of the most cinematically profound ski movies ever made. Deep pillows and Alaskan spines, all filmed at night, with massive lights, custom made LED suits, and a national government’s worth of logistics, planning, and civil engineering. Filmed as a partnership between Sweetgrass Productions, Philips TV, and the Swedish Agency Ahlstrand & Wållgren, it’s two parts creativity, one part branded content, and a pinch of masochism for good measure.

Fair enough.

Here’s the full film.
