RENO BALLROOM
Snow-riding lovers exuberantly gather at film showings around our beautiful planet for Warren Miller’s exciting 70th production, “Timeless.” Indeed, Warren Miller’s recognizable voice first permeated the sound waves and narrated the first film, “Deep and Light” back in 1950. Though the epic voice of the late Warren Miller no longer narrates these heart-pumping snow movies, his spirit lives on through every fearless athlete who graces the screen today. Fresh cuts through pow pow, steep descents ripping gnarly chutes and jagged cliffs, exotic back country locations and the world’s finest resort destinations. Warren Miller Productions has it all!

WHITNEY PEAK HOTEL – CARGO CONCERT HALL
Hip hop, electronica, trip hop… I’m familiar with the first, but had limited knowledge of exactly what the second and third really are. Have a listen to “Future Crypo” to get a solid example of what Slovenian music producer Denis Jašarević, better known as Gramatik,puts into the universe. It’s a great vibe to get up and groove to. The concert is 18+ with valid ID at the door. Purchase admission tickets at EventBrite.com.
