Thursday, January 16th @7:30pm–United We Ski Premiere
United We Ski is a documentary from two Vermont natives celebrating the heritage of small, community-run ski areas in New England. Brothers Tyler and Elliot Wilkinson-Ray grew up in Richmond, VT and learned to ski at Cochran’s Ski Area, a smaller, family-run ski hill in the area. At one point, in the not-too-distant past, most towns in Vermont (and New England for that matter) had their own community ski hill operating on a small scale. This documentary will tell their story and highlight the still-surviving small town ski slopes. Tickets available online – $5 each.
