Awaiting the Magic Moments
Posted on Friday, November 13th, 2009
Off-season in Jackson Hole is bookended by a pair of ski movie premieres, starting with Teton Gravity Research’s much-anticipated debut in September.
Tonight Darrell Miller’s Storm Show Studios presents its latest, “Magic Moments,” before a typically rabid Friday the 13th crowd at Snow King Resort.
Miller, a Jackson Hole native, continues to keep it local, with all Teton-area riders and nearly all footage shot locally. Miller and mates had much to work with last winter, with avalanche drama and more than 500 inches of snowfall at the upper elevations of the Tetons.
Screenings are at 6 and 9 p.m. in the Snow King Grand Room. The after-party, which has produced some legendary ragers and is almost as anticipated as the premiere itself, will be at the Elks Club in Jackson. DJs Richie Beats, Mr. Whipple and Deejay Sessions will spin tunes to work the crowd into a froth.
In this trailer one can practically taste the powder. Although by now, I suspect, skiers and riders can make do with less stoke and more actual snow, so hungry are they to get after it.
Tickets are $15, available at the Cloudveil Store, Teton Village Sports, JH Wine Co. and The Liquor Store. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Bridger-Teton Avalanche Center, and there will be a silent auction and raffle for the Brent Newton Memorial Foundation.
