Boise residents looking for a winter‑time boost can head to Treefort Music Hall on Wednesday, Oct. 28, for a ski film festival that highlights home‑grown talent. The event opens its doors at 6:30 p.m., with the film lineup beginning at 8:00 p.m.
Local filmmakers take the spotlight
The centerpiece of the evening is the OS Crew’s latest production, Glitch, a film that captures the excitement and challenges of Idaho’s backcountry terrain. “We get to bring the community together for a fun night, get other people interested in filming and pursuing their passions, and just getting the general public fired up to go ski this winter and get outside,” said skier‑filmmaker Justin “Juice” Kennedy of the OS Crew.
Joining Glitch are three additional films created by Idaho skiers, offering a diverse look at the state’s snow sports culture. Each short showcases local athletes, scenic mountain vistas, and the camaraderie that defines the Idaho ski community.
Vendors and industry partners
Festival attendees will also have the chance to explore a vendor area featuring representatives from Bogus Basin and several Boise‑area ski shops. These exhibitors will display the latest gear, apparel, and accessories, giving newcomers and seasoned riders alike a chance to gear up for the upcoming season.
