Sun Valley's terrain jumps, the North Fork Store immortalized by Marilyn Monroe in "Bus Stop" and local hot shot Karl Fostvedt.
They're all there in the new ski flick "Guest Flick."
Sun Valley Resort and Good Company will present a free showing of “Guest List” at 8 p.m. tonight--Saturday, Oct. 14--at the Sun Valley Opera House. Sun Valley athletes will sign posters at the event, and there will be a post-showing party at the Hot Water Inn at the corner of Picabo Street and Skiway Drive afterwards.
The film is the second full-length film created by professional freeskier Tom Wallisch and the Good Company crew.
A homage to world-class urban, park and backcountry skiing, it features some never-been-done tricks, including a scene of skiers skating to their shoot.
The film features local skier Karl Fostvedt, along with Khai Krepela, Thayne Rich, Lucas Wachs, Mike Hornbeck, Tom and Dale Talkington and others. It’s filmed on the northern plains of South Dakota, a mini-golf course near Cooke City, Mont., Seven Springs Mountain Resort in Pennsylvania and, of course, Sun Valley.
“The jump showcase in Sun Valley is sure to impress and the massive wedge built in Seven Springs is sure to go down as one of the best ever,” said a spokesman for the film.
COMING ATTRACTIONS
Warren Miller’s latest—“Line of Descent”—will be shown at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 27, and at 4:30 and 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 28, at the Sun Valley Opera House.
