Warren Miller film on tap Saturday
n Don’t miss the Warren Miller Show — Join your “Winter friends” this Saturday at the Panida Theater for the showing of “Here, There and Everywhere,” celebrating why skiers and snowboarders commit themselves every winter to a passion that’s guaranteed to melt away every spring.
Follow the world’s biggest names in skiing and snowboarding on a breathtaking cinematic journey to Eastern Greenland, Switzerland, Cordova, Alaska, Western Montana’s glacier country, Deer Valley, Squaw Valley, Fenway Park (yes, that one) and British Columbia. This year Warren Miller returns to do some of the narrating, and truly takes us here, there and everywhere.
There’s only one show and we always sell out. Get to the Alpine Shop now to pick up your tickets, or buy them online at www.panida.org. And bring your wallet (Mastercard and Visa accepted) to the show, because we’ll once again have the Great Outdoors Raffle plus a great auction up front.
n Ski Swap this weekend — SARS will be hosting the annual Ski Swap on Nov. 12 featuring thousands of new and used skis, snowboards and boots. Additionally, they will have a huge variety of used and new winter clothing.
