Overview
If you thought extreme skiing didn’t get much wilder than the Perisher Blue half-pipe, have we got news for you. From sliding down steep ascents at incomprehensible speeds, chasing avalanches (or being chased by them), to batting away thoughts of stupid sexy Flanders in the name of adrenalin, extreme skiing is almost as wild to watch on the slopes as it does on the big screen - and if there’s one film production company that knows blood, sweat, tears and ice better than anyone else, it’s Warren Miller Entertainment.
Since the 1950 release of Deep and Light, the first extreme skiing movie, they’re latest production Ticket to Ride, proves a friendly, and exhilarating reminder of the high-octane, clean-cut, icy-precise production that comes from 64 years in the snow business game. Capturing the athletic elite-ship of Sochi Gold medallist Ted Ligety, Seth Wescott, Julia Mancuso, Sean Pettit and Chris Davenport in action, Ticket to Ride shows off some of the worlds finest skiers, on backdrops of some of the world's most dangerous snow ranges.
The Judith Wright Centre will be screening Ticket to Ride this Thursday and Friday over four sessions. Experience the most epic ski adventure to date, with some of the globes most dangerous, sought-after and gob-smackingly beautiful ski locations on show – from Alaskan Tordrillos, Iceland’s Troll Peninsula, the fjords of Greenland and the Big Sky country of Montana, Ticket to Ride covers more snowy terrain than The Rocky Mountaineer, and shows off twice as many thrills.
