- Info: A true multimedia presentation to commemorate the 10 year anniversary of the AROB Plant A Seed Project and the Smash Life Banked Slalom. What are those things you might ask? The Plant A Seed Project is a nonprofit organization that brings at risk youth to the mountains of Whitefish, MT for snowboarding outings. And the Slalom is the primary annual fundraising event for that nonprofit. This media project was completed in collaboration with The Snowboarders Journal of Bellingham, WA and K2 Snowboards – both long time supporters of the event and the organization of benefit.

Left to right: Bridger Donaldson, Noah Martinez and Ethan Laughrey watch and take note while coach Todd Pearson demonstrates backside 180 nose poke on a side hit. Emmett Donaldson pops a half cab while working his way down the moutain with the entire crew, sessioning every single side hit they can along the way. Skylar Donaldson sessions a jump quickly handshaped by he and his fellow ‘Seed riders’ – located right below the Whitefish Mountain Resort base lodge – after the lifts stopped turning. Emmett Donaldson (left) and Hailey Laughrey (right) observe the hang time.
