The local premier of Teton Gravity Research’s 2007 action sports movie, “Lost and Found” will screen at 9 p.m. Their annual ski and snowboard film is premiered to sold out audiences at over 150 locations across North America, Europe, and Japan. With global drought persisting and ski resorts closing around the world, “Lost and Found” is the story of an extraordinary season as seen through the eyes of world-class skiers and snowboarders who are forced to follow the snow, sending them deep into the uncharted north country of Alaska and Canada. Tickets are available at the door for $10.00.

The event is being held at the Timber Ridge Ski Area, approximately eight miles northwest of Kalamazoo. The ski area will also hold a Ski and Snowboard Swap that runs November 2nd through the 4th.
