Growing up Colombian American in Sun Valley, Sofía Jaramillo spent time in and around the historical Sun Valley Lodge. In 2020, she was roaming the halls when she noticed that the photographs primarily featured white individuals. Drawn to the aesthetics of these 1930s–1950s winter sports photographs, Jaramillo pulled together a community of people of color in the outdoor and fashion industries as well as athletes from all over the United States to recreate these historical images of ski culture in Sun Valley. Posing on skis, relaxing with food and drinks at a lodge, or sitting back in Sun Valley’s iconically warm and bright winter sunshine, Jaramillo’s figures radiate joy, pride, and strength in the nostalgic, mountain atmosphere characteristic of après-ski. In creating the images that Jaramillo wishes she had seen as a kid, A New Winter encourages conversation around the origin of winter sports culture, offering a reimagined history and hopeful future that celebrates the richness and variety of those who contribute to it. Join Sofía Jaramillo, project stylist Terumi Murao, Wood River Museum Collections Specialist Ellie Norman, and moderator Martha Williams for a conversation on the way that Jaramillo and Murao found inspiration in the Library’s archives, and the …

Drawing from a wide range of sounds, their original music weaves together funked bass grooves, banjo driven twang, latin beats, electro-psych synth lines, and classic rock guitar. Listening to the group’s offerings, one gets the sense that a good laugh is one piece of the puzzle that keeps the fun meter in check. Forming in 2018, the band has grown outside the local Jackson music scene, playing everything from rowdy bars, local venues, and outdoor concert series supporting acts along the way such as JoJo Herman, DJ Williams’ Shot’s Fired, Polyrhythmics, Diggin’ Dirt, and The Ghost of Paul Revere. The band consists of Peter Henderson (drums), Lavender Jones (bass, vocals), Grove Miller (keys), Pat Bottini (lead guitar), and Alex Blackwelder (banjo, lead vocals).

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