By NICOLE INGLIS, STEAMBOAT PILOT & TODAY Jonny Buschmann, his friends and their snowmobiles arrived at Rabbit Ears Pass early on a bright spring powder day in April. The group filmed for about three hours, catching on camera Buschmann’s first and only shot at a 150-foot step down off a cliff. The landing, he said, was a little hard, but the drop was smooth. The deep snowpack and feet of fresh powder had given him a chance to hit a line that otherwise would have been impossible. That one massive drop and countless other step-ups, cliff drops and kickers were caught on camera last season by two local filmmakers, snowmobile riders Chris Rhodes and Brian McCleary. Their films, “Still Snowing,” and “Just Wanna Ride,” respectively, will premiere at a snowmobile-themed event Friday. |
