Mark your calendars for this year's Make it Snow Tour. Running every Sunday at the Longhorn Saloon between Oct.15 and Nov. 26, the series promises an action-packed lineup of film premieres, adrenaline-pumping tricks and a celebration of mountain culture.
Kicking things off this Sunday are The Manboys with their Whistler premiere of Tango Echo November. This decade-in-the-making film follows five professional snowboarders and friends from around the globe as they flip, spin, and straight-air their way onto the big screen. There will be powder. There will be music. There will be well-thought-out camera angles. There will be prizes and giveaways.
On Oct. 22, the Milk Box Girls arrive from south of the border to debut their new short Con Artist. Starring Addison Rafford, Josie Petersen, and Ella Meade, this cinematic creation takes viewers into the blurred realms of reality and the subconscious as the riders discover true selves during a daring heist of self-identity.
For Halloween weekend, Whistler's own Dead Barbies will host the premiere of Pink Duct Tape. It is the group's first full-season project following their success at WSSF 2023 Intersection, where they won third and People's Choice for "Nightmare on Emerald Drive." Costumes are strongly encouraged.
Nov. 12 will be a double-feature with Anna Segal and The Blondes. The evening kicks off with the debut of 23.4 Degrees, a Segal film directed by Jeff Thomas. It follows Pembertonian Segal through stunning landscapes of British Columbia as she delves into her deep connection with the changing seasons and how they link our modern lifestyle to the natural world.
Later that night, The Blondes from Revelstoke present How Did We Get Here?. This film offers an intimate look into their friendship, intertwined with thrilling ski edits that are sure to leave you in awe.
Concluding the schedule will be Brin Alexander, a well-kept secret in the world of snowboarding who also hails from Whistler. He will showcase Stay High on Nov. 19 with the aim of elevating excitement just before the opening day of Whistler Blackcomb. After the screening, DJ TyMetal will take the stage.
