Whitewater Partners with Sweetgrass Productions to Build the Excitement of the Upcoming Winter

 Latest Film ‘Valhalla’ set to release in Denver this Friday Fall brings with it the change of season, cooling air and slipping hours of light.  While we all find ourselves grasping for the last of days of summer, some also can feel winter coming alive.  Thoughts drift to that excitement of the first winter snowfall and the coziness of a sparkling winter’s day.  Then there is that feeling of freedom when you are gliding down a mountain with the snow floating both beneath and around you. It is these moments that define the heart and soul of what winter is to skiers and snowboarders alike. It is this essence of winter that drew Sweetgrass Productions to the Nelson area. Their roots in backcountry and mountain culture, and their focus on the truly genuine and authentic, made Whitewater Ski Resort the perfect place to produce their newest film ‘Valhalla’. Guaranteed to be one of the most anticipated premiere’s of the fall, Valhalla will strike at the very core of what it means to ski and snowboard; the kinship, the soul, the reflection, the fun, and the wild sense of abandon wrapped in a clean winter canvas. It’s going back to that feeling of youth, the freedom and awe, that reminds us all of the opportunity and wealth in the present. Sweetgrass Productions weaves the Whitewater culture with their award-winning cinematography and artistic style, speaking to the heart of any story-loving soul who searches for meaning during the winter months. So put summer behind you and grasp the excitement of winter by being a part of the ‘Valhalla’ release at a city near you.  The tour kicks off this Friday, September 13 in Denver Colorado, and it guaranteed to get you ready for the snow to fall.
