MSP and the Carson High Ski and Board team brings their award-winning film to the table with "CLAIM, The Greatest Ski Movie... EVER!"

This time, they're poking fun at themselves and the industry as a whole. Highlights from the film include the introduction of 15-year-old phenom Sean Pettit, early season with Mark Abma, Matchstick's return to Alaska over the course of four epic shoots, and a speed riding session from Chamonix, France.

Please join us at the Carson City Community Center at 7 p.m. Friday. Tickets are $7 and available at the door, or $5 with a Warren Miller ticket stub.
