The newest chapter in a legendary snow sports film series, "Ticket to Ride" will take filmgoers on an action-packed journey with the world's best skiers and snowboarders. Witness athletes at their career-best, and discover the paths that put them at the top of the steepest peaks in the 64th annual ski and snowboard film, Warren Miller's "Ticket to Ride."

The film will be shown at North Idaho College's Boswell Hall Schuler Performing Arts Center Sunday, Nov. 17. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the film begins at 6:30 p.m.

NIC's Outdoor Pursuits program is organizing the event, in which more than $2,000 in prizes will be given away. Lookout Pass, Schweitzer, Silver Mountain, the Ski Shack in Hayden, and 95.3 KPND are all sponsoring the event, which raises funds for NIC's Outdoor Pursuits program.

Tickets are $15 for general admission and $10 for NIC students and children under 12. Tickets are available from NIC's Outdoors Pursuits program in McLain Hall, the Ski Shack in Hayden Lake and at the door (cash only).

Experience the immense energy of the world's most sought-after destinations, and discover the "epicenter of big lines" in Alaska, Montana's Big Sky Country and the exotic winter playgrounds of Kazakhstan, Iceland and Greenland. The trams and trains in Switzerland will climb to Mt. Eiger. Once again, winter begins with Warren Miller, and it's time to get your Ticket to Ride.

Look for world-class action sport athletes as diverse as the terrain, including World Cup champions and Olympians Seth Wescott, Ted Ligety and Julia Mancuso, plus legendary ski mountaineers like Chris Davenport, and freeskiers Colby James West and Sean Pettit.

Park and pipe veteran Gretchen Bleiler throws down in Aspen proving "girls can look like girls and still rip." An all-female cast of Jess McMillan, Julia Mancuso and Sierra Quitiquit explore the expansive terrain that is Iceland's Troll Peninsula, and a snowboard segment in Valdez brings two legends, Seth Wescott and Rob Kingwill, together for a rowdy, big mountain adventure.

"This year, Warren Miller has offset the emissions impact from filming 'Ticket to Ride' which is a small step toward creating a sustainable business for the future," said Max Bervy, Managing Director. "As a stakeholder in winter, Warren Miller Entertainment is committed to using our voice in the winter sports community to help preserve our winters. Continuing our 64-year legacy, we look to make films that excite and inspire skiers and riders worldwide, and we must work with and impassion our audience to pass down the tradition and make positive changes for generations to come."
