Last year's impromptu 'Gathering' brought together the legendary group of friends who perfected the freeski alpine lifestyle, melding mountaineering with mogul-mania and fashion with free-dog in Verbier in the 1970's and 80's.
For 2010, The Gathering (April 2-4), takes it to another level as several generations of Powder Magazine's most coveted lendsman converge to present and describe the ture stories behind some of the finest ski photographers ever captured. Hank deVre, Wade McKoy, Scott Markewitz, Christian Pondella, Jordan Manley and Erik Seo collectively represent the past, present and future of Powder's photographic excellence. Their work has inspired thousands of skiers from across the globe and has helped each of us understand why we seek out that perfect day.
RED Mountain's heritage as the original ski resort of Western Canada (in Rossland) and cult northwest powder mecca makes it the perfect location to bring together the old guard of the ski world and young-up-and-coming skier, photographers and filmmakers of the vibrant Kootenays. The Gathering is a TMP (The Mountain Project) event and another signal of RED Mountain's growing reputation as a global crossroads for mountain professionals from North America, Europe, Down Under and Up Yonder.
The Gathering is a three-day ski-festival culminating in a big night out of photos, short films and live music in the infamous Miners Hall heritage building (circa 1890). The already classic TGR film 'Swift, Silent Deep' will make its premiere. The season will conclude with RED Mountain's infamous dummy dowhill and deck party on Sunday, April 4 and the final date of the season is April 5.
March 29th Update - RED Mountain's lift tickets will be 50% off for the remainder of the season (Day Lift Passes: Adult - $31; Youth - $25.50; Junior - $16 and Senior - $21, plus applicable taxes).
