Monumental: Skiing Our National Parks
Powder is touring its first-ever feature film, Monumental: Skiing Our National Parks, in Madison on Wednesday, November 9th. The premiere will be at The Barrymore Theater, with doors opening at 6pm and show starting at 7pm.
A ski film unlike any other, Monumental: Skiing Our National Parks, a Powder Productions Original and presented by REI Co-Op and filmed by KGB Productions, celebrates the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service by paying homage to these monuments of nature and solitude, reminding us skiers where we came from, and that we belong to something greater than ourselves. Follow contemporary explorers through the lens of KGB Productions with skiers Andy Mahre, Lynsey Dyer, Griffin Post, Colter Hinchliffe, Kalen Thorien, Greg Hill, Max Hammer, and Connery Lundin at Yellowstone National Park, Yosemite National Park, Grand Teton National Park, Glacier National Park, and Olympic National Park.
There are only a few spots still available for the Banff and Snowmass trip. If you are thinking of coming, we have an opening for a female roommate for the Snowmass trip, and possibly a female roommate for the Banff trip. Trip information, signup forms, and contact details can be found under Trips/Events.
