Central Sierra AMA Benefit Premier Of Warren Miller's Chasing Shadows Is Nov. 21st In Angels Camp
Angels Camp- On Saturday, November 21, AMA Snowsports brings the the 66th edition of the annual Warren Miller winter sports film back to Angels Camp. This year’s installment of the iconic winter sports film series, Chasing Shadows celebrates why skiers and snowboarders commit themselves every winter to a passion that’s guaranteed to melt away every spring. As always, Warren Miller’s annual film tradition marks the beginning of colder weather, winter exploration and premier cinematography that reignites the excitement for winter sports. Warren Miller once said, “A pair of skis are the ultimate transportation to freedom,” and in this year’s film, skiers and snowboarders find that very freedom as they chase storms, snow and lines on the world’s highest peaks..
SNAC is donating a new Rossi ski & bindings or snowboard & bindings (up to a $500 value!) for the door prize and Bear Valley is donating a Season Pass & all attendees will get a mid-week restricted lift ticket voucher.
Follow the world’s biggest names in skiing and snowboarding on a breathtaking cinematic journey. Watch JT Holmes, Seth Wescott, Caroline Gleich, Steven Nyman, Marcus Caston, Ingrid Backstrom and more as they pursue turns on the mountains of our dreams—the French Alps, Alaska’s Chugach, Utah’s Wasatch, the Chilean Andes and the mightiest range of them all: the Himalaya.
“This year’s film will inspire viewers to search out their dreams and find freedom,” says Director of Cinematography Chris Patterson, who has been making films with Warren Miller for 24 years. “Our athletes show us that anything is possible if your passions and desires are in the right direction.”
Take a glimpse into the world of the U.S. freestyle team and the snowsports that live on the fringe, like monoskiing, powsurfing and speedriding. Then explore what it is about culturally rich locations and snow-covered summits that motivate passionate skiers and snowboarders to keep searching and chasing after a feeling, a memory, a storm, a turn each winter and for a lifetime more.
Attending a Warren Miller film is a tradition that marks the start to every winter season. Each attendee will receive exclusive resort and retail savings from Warren Miller resort, retail and manufacturer partners with the best values in the industry. Additionally, moviegoers have a chance to win ski vacations, ski and snowboard gear and swag.
The movie is showing at the Elliott Smart Performing Arts Center at Bret Harte High School in Angels Camp at 6:30pm on Saturday, November 21, 2015. All proceeds benefit local schools and team programs. Go online to secure your tickets: http://www.amayouthsports.eventbrite.com
One show only will play in the region this year at the Bret Harte High School Performing Arts Center on November 21, so tickets are expected to sell out fast.
“100% of the funds we raise support youth participation in winter sports activities,” said Alford. “These programs are the only opportunity some of these kids will have to experience downhill and cross-country skiing even though the mountain is literally in their back yards”
