The movie that was the main feature at last year\u2019s The Meeting , \u201cFree Solo,\u201d went on to win the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. That\u2019s not going to happen again. Not that this year\u2019s lineup of ski flicks isn\u2019t great, but because the crossover of \u201cFree Solo\u201d into the mainstream was very much the exception and not the rule (mountain town dirtbags everywhere are still chuckling at the sight of Alex Honnold in a tuxedo on stage at the Oscars), the film was a masterpiece of outdoor filmmaking and a departure from The Meeting\u2019s traditional rollout of the best and newest from ski movie production companies.<\/p>\n

The Meeting\u2019s 2019 lineup takes the annual film festival back to the core with four big new ski movies by ski movie studios and the beloved NEPSA local\u2019s night at the Wheeler. Here\u2019s what to expect:<\/p>\n

With 28 credited skiers, production company Level 1 is billing this as \u201cthe final chapter\u201d \u2013 the 20th and final of its annual film releases, which have documented an era of hyper-speed progression in skiing.<\/p>\n

In typical Level 1 fashion, it promises to be an irreverent mix of street, park and backcountry segments filmed from the Alps to the Rockies to downtown Denver and Minneapolis.<\/p>\n
