“Prepare to have your mind blown as Hoji, Sam Kuch, Bobby Brown and the breakout girl posse The Blondes, have the time of their lives shredding and stomping,” according to Matchstick. “This fi lm is a balance of personal action segments and location/story-based segments that not only show progressive skiing but interesting stories.” | tahoearthauscinema.com

“Make Believe” | Teton Gravity Research premieres its new fi lm “Make Believe” on Sept. 23 at Wind El Rancho Drive In in Sparks, Nev. The fi lm will be followed by the world premiere of the snowboard fi lm “Blank Canvas.”

“Inspiration is evoked spontaneously and without intention … Sometimes it comes in the form of a photograph, a chance encounter on a chairlift, or a glimpse at a mountain never seen before. When combined with motivation, the spark of inspiration becomes a dream, and when pursued gives our lives a new purpose,” according to a press release from TGR. “For 25 years, TGR has focused on turning ‘Make Believe’ into reality, from exploring powder stashes in our backyard playground to fi rst descents on unnamed peaks, the ethos of ‘live the dream’ has defi ned our adventures.”

Gates at 6:30 p.m., with the show starting at 7:30. Tickets are $30 per vehicle and includes the fi rst two people, $10 each additional passenger. The event includes prize giveaways. | Tickets tetongravity.com Obi Kaufmann, author of “The Forests of California,” will take audiences on a virtual journey across burned forests in the Sierra Nevada to address the growing threat of wildfi res in California, fi re suppression and benefi cial fi re, habitat recovery and conservation and how to minimize the ecological footprint on Sept. 25 at 11 a.m.
