As perhaps the most prolific contemporary ski film maker, TGR hosts three different screenings in Seattle alone. The first two nights include merch and a whiskey tasting at the more formal Triple Door, while the last two at the Nectar are more of a rollicking party, with under-16s allowed at early shows. This year's film is all about whimsical imagination, shot in Alaska, Wyoming, and Europe.

The Salomon-branded series includes a collection of short films, including one from Cody Townsend's new Fifty+ Project, launched this year after he ended his famed Fifty series. As with most events, there's a grand prize giveaway—this one to the Journeyman Lodge near Whistler.

Every Memorial Day since 1979, the Colorado town of Telluride hosts a film festival all about the mountains; after that, the films go on tour. They play at the Mountaineers Seattle Program Center and won't solely be about skiing, but rather a wider spread of outdoor culture, adventure, and activism.

With a long roster of skiers and snowboarders and a worldwide list of filming locations—Japan, Alaska, Austria—MSP does try to bring focus with a nature theme. Some shots were filmed in British Columbia (the closest ski movies tend to get to our mountains).

The OG of ski films passed away in 2018 but his legacy remains at one of the more posh events, screening at McCaw Hall. Called 75 to mark the three-quarters of a century since he basically invented the genre, this film series has 10 shorts and includes snowboarding's biggest name, Shaun White. This series has almost 20 different screenings around the state, from Bellevue to the Tri-Cities, so there are many options if you're busy that night.
