The Gathering comes to Red Mountain Resort in Rossland, B.C., April 1-3, 2010.
The Gathering lineup from April 1-3rd includes nights of slideshows from some of the best ski photographers, incredible bands at the after parties and of course the celebration of skiing on the renowned terrain at Red Mountain every day.
Last year’s impromptu ‘Gathering’ brought together the legendary group of friends who perfected the free-ski alpine lifestyle, melding mountaineering with mogul-mania and fashion with free-dog in Verbier in the 1970s and 80s. News of the frenetic blend of skiing, philosophizing and partying that ensued over three days in March 2009 at Red Mountain traveled through the blogosphere and pub counter conversations throughout the West, and the call was made for a repeat performance. The Gatherers must gather again, bigger and better!
For 2010 The Gathering takes it to another level as older/wiser and newer/brasher generations of ski photographers, lensmen, and image-makers throw down some of the most classic as well as the most progressive visions of the sport. From Hank DeVre to Jason Manning………
Red Mountain is pleased to have Powder Magazine as a partner to participate in and document this remarkable convergence of talent. For 30 years, Powder has been the bible of the sport and has captured the soul of skiing like no other publication.
Red Mountain’s heritage as the original ski resort of Western Canada and cult northwest powder mecca makes it the perfect location to bring together the old guard of the ski world with young up-and-coming skiers, photographers and filmmakers of the vibrant Kootenay region. 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 Kootenay premiere earlier in the day.
