Local Area And Real Estate News

            The weather is changing and on recent mornings a light dusting of snow has been visible on local peaks and ski runs here in Park City, UT. The classified ads in the newspaper are showing more seasonal jobs available with the resorts, hotels, property management, restaurant and service industries gearing up for the winter season. But more than the dark mornings and shorter days, the upcoming ski and snowboard season is marked by movies coming to town.             In particular, it is ski movies coming to town. They mark the start of winter like spring training baseball games mark the start of summer. We have seen Matchstick Productions' highly acclaimed The Way I See It already come and go (I couldn't believe it was "already that time").             This weekend will see the screening of the latest Warren Miller film Wintervention. The film is the 61^st Warren Miller ski film. This year's is narrated by Jonny Moseley and contains all of the music, powder shots and big mountain lines that make up ski dreams. For many it will also manage to make us think that it is time to get in shape for the winter.

            Warren Miller's Wintervention plays Friday and Saturday night Oct 29 & 30 at 8 pm at the Eccles Center in Park City. Tickets for the show are $20 and come with a voucher good for a free day of skiing at the Canyons Resort. Note that this isn't just an early season ticket, but a weekday ticket good pretty much all season (of course no Christmas to New Year's and the standard holiday black-outs).             With the snow that is in the forecast for the week, a ski movie sounds like a perfect plan for the weekend. If you aren't in Park City, take a look on line and find a ski movie playing near you. Winter is fast approaching, it is time to get that ski and snowboard mind-set.
