Aspen/Snowmass will once again host The Meeting, October 4-7–a weekend celebration of ski and snowboard films. Now in its third year, this original event has grown into the must-attend season kick-off for the snowsports industry—creating a scene for fans, athletes and industry players to share in the anticipation of the upcoming season.
"The Meeting is a great way to kick off the winter season. It is one of those special events that only comes along a couple times of year where athletes, filmmakers and industry magnates all get together in one place to share ideas and good times," said Dirk Collins, Teton Gravity Research. "And there is no better place to host an industry film festival than Aspen."
The six ski movies to be screened are Teton Gravity Research's Lost and Found, Poor Boyz Productions' Yeah Dude, Level 1's Realtime, Tanner Hall's Believe, Eric Iberg's IDEA and Rage Films' Enjoy. This year's six snowboard films are Absinthe's Optimistic, Mack Dawg's Picture This, Mack Dawg People's We're People Too, Mongo Pro's The Constant Struggle, Standard's Catch the Vapors, and UnderPar's, Keep Talkin'.
All movie showings during The Meeting will be open to the public at various venues around Aspen including the historic Wheeler Opera House and Belly Up. The film screenings will be surrounded by parties, events and other surprises with the top ski and snowboard pros featured in the films, the filmmakers themselves, and other industry influencers in attendance to discuss trends and entertaining stories behind this year's movies. This year's event will begin on Thursday, Oct. 4 will the NEPSA Video and Art Awards at the Wheeler Opera House.
