What's almost as good as shredding some wicked powder, bro? No, not slowly depleting your trust fund on weed and North Face gear - watching others shred some wicked powder on the big screen. Luckily, Friday and Saturday hardcore boarders will have snowboard movie events in Tacoma and Olympia to choose from. Friday at the Blue Mouse, Northwest Snowboards presents two new snowboarding flicks, Respect Your Elders and Nowhere. Saturday at the Capitol Theater in Oly, Teton Gravity Research & O'Neill will present Jeremy Jones' Deeper. Both events promise to be gnarly.

[Blue Mouse Theatre, Oct. 15, 7 p.m., $6-$7, 2611 North Proctor, Tacoma, 253.564.5974]

[Capitol Theater, Oct. 16, 9 pm., $13-$15, 206 Fifth Ave., Olympia, 360.754.6670]
