First movie will start at 7pm (Paved)Second Movie will start at 8pm (After the Snowfall)Pizza all-night (or until it’s gone!)
A night of snow sport films on the big screen, homemade pizza and traditional Caesar salad from Post Office Coffee and TLH Chef, Jess Kunze. (regular menu not available).
PavedPart history lesson, part hangout, part backcountry odyssey, Paved – a Burton and Red Bull Media House co-production – celebrates the passion and soul of snowboarding in raw, wry and light-hearted style.
After the SnowfallOpening on a quiet, storm-buried morning, After The Snowfall is a high-octane and heartfelt journey through the culture and chaos of modern skiing. Filmed in stunning locations from the Lyngen Alps of Norway to the heli-accessed steeps of British Columbia, the film showcases an elite crew of skiers, including Michelle Parker, Nikolai Schirmer, Nico Porteous, Caite Zeliff, and more, pushing boundaries with jaw-dropping style and skill.
But this is not just a story about pros. It is about the everyday ski bum, the weekend warrior, and the mountain town lifer whose passion burns just as bright. Interwoven throughout the action are honest and irreverent reflections from both athletes and everyday skiers on what skiing means to them; why they risk injury, chase fleeting storms, and build their lives around snow. The film explores both the literal mountains they climb and the internal terrain they navigate: personal growth, camaraderie, obsession, and joy.
With Matchstick Productions’ signature blend of cinematic artistry and raw stoke, After The Snowfall is a reminder that skiing is more than a sport, it is a way of life. Presented by Toyota and supported by The North Face, Ikon Pass, and Stanley, this film is a tribute to the people, places, and powder turns that make it all worth it.
