The exclusive Lake Tahoe Premiere of THE STORY comes to the Crystal Bay Casino’s Crown Room on October 29, 2010. This premiere is an official stop on The Ski Channel Film Tour that is traveling across the country, spreading the message of mountain sport infatuation through ski cinema. THE STORY showcases the unfathomable talent of mountain sports’ biggest stars including the marquee athletes of alpine skiing, Bode Miller and Lindsey Vonn, 2010 XGames phenom Bobby Brown and Lake Tahoe’s own Errol Kerr.

The evening will begin with a very special tribute to international adventure sports legend Shane McConkey with the screening of the new short film ‘Shane & the McConkeys’ which captures a heretofor unseen intimate and personal look at McConkey and his family shot over four days in early 2009.

A robust raffle will take place throughout the evening with prizes including Season Passes, a complete Surefoot custom bootfitting, lift tickets, ski & snowboard equipment, and more. A portion of the net proceeds from the evening’s raffle will benefit the High Fives Foundation.

Doors open for the Lake Tahoe Premiere of THE STORY at 7:00 pm and the show starts at 8:00 pm. Door charge is $15 and includes 5 raffle tickets. Premiere-goers must be 21+ with valid ID. Tickets are available at the Crystal Bay Casino (www.crystalbaycasino.com) before the event and the evening of the show.

Following the feature showing of THE STORY, Keyser Soze takes the stage for a special free after party in the Crystal Bay Casino’s Red Room.

ABOUT ‘THE STORY’
It is through enlightening experiences and dimensional characters that the tale of skiing is told; THE STORY travels around the world and delves into the lives that built and continue to build the great American pastime and sport of skiing.  Unlike other ski films, THE STORY reveals the untold tale - legends exposed through the intimate words and skiing of the films’ respective stars.  The films’ true stars are the heart-wrenching and jaw-dropping accounts and incredible skiing of Bode Miller, Lindsey Vonn, Bobby Brown, Mike Douglas, Eric Pollard, Chris Benchetler, Chris Davenport, Kristi Leskinen, Reggie Crist, Willie Bogner, and other mountain luminaries.  Through epic skiing, snowboarding, river surfing and unimaginable variations of human flight, THE STORY showcases the insatiable hunger and the intangible feeling that drives the people who are the pillars of mountain sports.

Shot on location in Mt Everest, Nepal; Antarctica; Whistler, BC; Las Leñas, Argentina; Portillo, Chile; Haines, AK; Mammoth Mountain, CA; Jackson Hole, WY; Utah backcountry; Snowbird, UT; Lake Tahoe; Vail, CO; Deer Valley, UT; Grand Targhee, WY; the mountains of Southern California and snowy locations across the globe, this film is the perfect prelude to winter. THE STORY documents some of the world's best skiing and the lives that have impacted (and been impacted by) the sport. This is the story of the intangible; this is the story that has yet to be told. 

This special event is produced by Tahoe TV in partnership with The Ski Channel, Crystal Bay Casino, Tahoe Dave’s, High Fives Foundation, and Surefoot.
