Join SSC to for Warren Miller Film in South Orange
Fri, Nov 13, 12:00 AM### About this event Drop in on winter’s favorite tradition with Warren Miller’s 77th film, *Days Off.* Join host Katie Burrell on a day off with the pros—no competition, no agenda, just pure unscripted joy from Deer Valley and Canada to the untracked terrain of Japan, Chamonix, and Alaska. There are ski films, and then there is Warren Miller. **Days Off** marks the 77th installment of winter’s most beloved film tradition, and it asks a question only Warren Miller can answer: what do the world’s greatest ski and snowboard athletes do on their days off? Hosted by Katie Burrell — professional leisure athlete, filmmaker, and certified ski industry lifer who has spent a decade turning her passion into her job — this year’s film turns it back into passion, following Katie on a globe-spanning search for the unscripted joy that lives just beneath the surface of the sport. * **A Tradition 77 Years in the Making:** Warren Miller’s annual ski film has been winter’s unofficial season opener for generations, and Days Off carries that legacy forward with the same spirit of stoke, humor, and jaw-dropping cinematography that built the brand. This is the pre-season party skiers and riders wait all year for. * **A Host Who’s Lived It:** Katie Burrell isn’t a narrator watching from the sidelines — she’s out there with the athletes, uncovering the runs that never make the competition results, the friendships forged in backcountry lodges, and the powder stashes only the locals know. It’s the industry from the inside, with none of the polish stripped away. * **A World-Class, Globe-Spanning Cast:** Days Off follows Sam Kuch and Craig Murray through the remote heli-skiing peaks of Alaska, Jess Kimura through the deep powder of Hokkaido, Japan, and Craig McMorris and friends skijoring in Banff — before landing at Deer Valley with Ted Ligety, Kaylin Richardson, Pep Fujas, Chuck Mumford, and more, plus stops across Canada’s Revelstoke, Whistler, and Pemberton. Winter’s greatest tradition is back. And this time, it’s clocking out.

Sun, Nov 22, 1:00 PMIn order to officially secure your spot on this event and to receive the details email of where to exactly park and meet with us you must register on our site by clicking the link below. https://www.trailboundproject.com/service-page/catskill-3500-guided-hike-kaaterskill-hp?referral=service_list_widget Our events typically fill up at 24 people for guided hikes! You won't see the attendees here on meetup as registrations are on our site but we wanted to let you know that we typically see large outings for all of our events! Kaaterskill High Peak, at 3,655', is one of the 33 Catskill 3500 peaks that one must climb to become a Catskill 3500 Club member. Note: This hike goes to the peak of the 3,655' mountain called Kaaterskill High Peak. It does not pass by or go to Kaaterskill Falls. This is a challenging hike of 8 miles and 2,100' of elevation change that we'll take at a moderate pace over the course of about 8 hours. Along the route of both marked and unmarked trails, we will visit two plane wrecks and a Mohawk Indian Camp. We'll split the group near the top so the more adventurous TrailBounders can take the fun steep scramble approach from the South, while the more conservative of us can take the more sensible approach from the North! Either way, we will all be rewarded with breathtaking views up top! Join the TrailBounders for an epic day of adventure! The parking and hike details are emailed after registration.
