Film screening: FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN: The Story of the 10th Mountain Division

The Community Library

Fire on the Mountain celebrates the United States' indomitable snowmen, the men of the 10th Mountain Division, America's only mountain and winter warfare troops. This award-winning film is an emotional portrait of the mountain warriors' creation, grueling training, daring World War II exploits, then focuses on their next 50 years. United by their love of the mountains, the 10th attracted championship skiers & mountaineers. Their first battle was the spectacular night climb of Italy's Apennine Riva Ridge where they surprised the Germans on top. That led to a push that ended World War II a week earlier in Italy than the rest of Europe. After the war, they pioneered the United States' infant ski industry and became the backbone of its outdoor education and conservation movements. Veterans of the 10th Mountain Division include many familiar names and faces from Sun Valley in the 1930s as well as after the war: Fire on the Mountain comes full circle as it follows members of the 10th Mountain Division on their 1995 re-climb of Riva Ridge. Again, the Germans were waiting on top, but; this time, veterans from the United States, Austria, Germany and Italy, now members of the International Federation of Mountain ...

Brap Ski 4

Liberty Theater

Brap Ski 4 celebrates the 2 funnest sports on planet earth: brappin' and skiin' “Karl Fostvedt has been dropping “Brap Ski” films for almost half a decade. In that time, he’s come up with some down-right wild ideas. Last year, the crew skied through the Southern Utah desert, painting silky turns and finding airs amongst the red rock walls. This year, they (somehow) stepped it up by returning to old stomping grounds and finding new spots, too. Along with Thayne Rich, Addie and Toby Rafford, McRae Williams and more, Fostvedt cooked up a few of the best segments we’ve seen so far this fall. And yes, that includes the “Karl and Thayne throw tricks through actual fire” segment.” -Jordan Grant-Frenz (Freeskier)
