Ryan McElmon, one of our 2012-2013 season Flyin Ryan Scholarship recipient took gold in his division in a USSA comp at Park City Mountain Resort, he took
second overall out of 49 competitors.  This was a single slopestyle run, second run was not counted due to 30 mile an hour winds and white out conditions.  He is very excited about his start to the season out west.

It was shot and co-produced in Vermont. Production features Stowe, Sugarbush, Bolton, and Burlington as pivotal characters in the film. The actors are also real legends from Vermont, featuring  Ralph Deslauriers, a real legend in Skiing and the business pioneer that brought us Bolton Valley!

The film has been well received in festivals and will host its theatrical debut in Vermont on Wednesday, November 28th at Merrill’s Roxy Cinema at 7pm and 8:30pm.

It is a great story to show why we all fall in love with this crazy thing called skiing
