Fans of ski and snowboard films have a chance to see Paradise Waits on two nights at Utah State University. Showings are planned Oct. 8 and Oct. 9 at 7 p.m. at the Taggart Student Center Auditorium. The film is produced, written and directed by Teton Gravity Research (TGR).

The USU campus showings are presented by The Trailhead in conjunction with USUSA.

Tickets for either date can be purchased in advance online. Those purchasing tickets online are asked to pick tickets up at The Trailhead, 1341 E. 700 North, Logan (next to Fredrico’s Pizza) by 6 p.m. the evening of the showing. Tickets will not be mailed. Organizers prefer that tickets be picked up at The Trailhead, but a will call table will be at the auditorium

Advance purchase tickets are $13, but those buying online can save $1 by using the promo code USUTODAY. Tickets are $15 if purchased at the door the night of the screenings.

Sponsors of the film said a variety of free swag and prizes will be available, including skis, a snowboard, poles, lift tickets and more. Details will be announced at the show.

Paradise Waits is from the award-winning filmmaking crew that also produced 2014’s Almost Ablaze. The story is of one weird winter and the people who celebrate it.

“As the days turn into weeks and the weeks roll into months, it’s the moments when everything seems to come together in perfect harmony that resonate the loudest,” the film’s promotional material says. “For those who anticipate winter’s arrival with frothing mouths and the dreams of what may come, this past year came with an unfamiliar set of struggles as these perfect moments became more and more elusive. But for the TGR team, this only hardened their pursuit of winter’s rewards. Through the highs and lows of a curious season, they come to find that the moments found on the other side of adversity are the greatest moments of all.”

The organizers suggest early ticket purchases.
