Wild Stallions by the Meatheads
Another year, another installment of east coast shenanigans from Meathead Films. How does this year’s film stack up to the rest of the Meathead library? It stacks up as better than average, better than last year, but still not realizing the potential we saw in Born From Ice.
Wild Stallions is downright exotic in its location selection. The Meats have always impressed me with their “ski anywhere” mentality and attitude. As a turn earner, I dig how far these guys will go to do something interesting. But they will also step outside of their home, climb a playground ladder, click in, and let it slide.
We get treated to all sorts of interesting places but the Mount Bohemia scene from Michigan was perhaps one of the more interesting selections in Meathead history. East Coast internet forums have highlighted this small mountain on a northern Michigan peninsula that features “triple diamond” terrain. It turns out that Mount Bohemia is no joke! Despite its limitd 800 vertical feet, Mount Bohemia looks to have more knarly natural terrain than all but a handful of New England ski areas.
