See some ecstatic truth. Eat some ecstatic truth. Drink some ecstatic truth.

Werner Herzog's film The Great Ecstasy of the Woodcarver Steiner is truly one of the greatest ski films ever (btw, you can now buy Herzog's entire collection of documentaries and shorts from the Werner Herzog Film, it's remarkable). Herzog himself was a ski jumper as a teenager before he turned to filmmaking full time, so his passion for this sport of flight and space is clearly on display in his portrait of Swiss ski jumping champion Walter Steiner. Several scenes of his jumps were shot with high-speed cameras and are shown in breathtaking ultra slow-motion.

In addition, DJs will spin Alpine music and sounds to accompany vintage ski films by John Jay, as well as contemporary films by Vermont filmmaker Chris Nelson and on professional skier Shane McConkey.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL...

With your admission, you will be entered in our Ski Lodge Drawing, with two chances to win passes and lodging to two of Vermont's premiere ski destinations...

1. Lodging for a night and two day passes at Sugarbush Ski Resort




2.
