Sun Valley’s own Crazy Karl Fostvedt, McKenna Peterson, Wyatt Minor, Will Griffith and Wing Tai Barrymore will be among the locals featured in Warren Miller’s newest ode-to-the-beginning-of-the-ski-season film Thursday through Saturday in Sun Valley.
The Warren Miller film crew had a dickens of a time trying to keep up with Fostvedt and Toby Rafford, Payton McElhiney and Kai Van Bueren—young skiers for whom Fostvedt is a mentor and a hero--as they skied secret stashes surrounding Sun Valley in their imitable inventive freestyle.
Then the cameramen followed Fostvedt, Daron Rahlves, John Ware and Wing Tai Barrymore to the sea-to-sky peaks surrounding Haines, Alaska.
Warren Miller’s 73rd annual ski flick will be shown at 7 p.m. tonight through Saturday, Nov. 17-19 at the Sun Valley Opera House. There also will b a 4 p.m. matinee on Saturday.
The film takes armchair powder hounds to British Columbia’s Monashees during a killer storm cycle, to Snowmass, Colo., to party with the National Brotherhood of Skiers, on a heli ski trip in Revelstoke, B.C., and to Greece where McKenna Peterson, Michelle Parker and John Falkiner ski the Olympus of the gods.
The film also showcases adaptive skiing in Blue River, B.C.; skiing with Jonny Moseley at Sun Valley’s sister resort Snowbasin in Utah, and the ultimate grass skiing run in Wengen, Switzerland.
Others skiers featured in the film include Katie Burrell. Hanna Beaman, Ryland Bell, Cam Fitzpatrick and Connery Lundin.
