Happy weekend, Boulder! 🌞

Whether you ski Eldora every winter or just love mountain culture, this one’s packed with heart, community, and jaw-dropping snow scenes.

🎥 Warren Miller’s SNO-CIETY Hits Boulder Theater

Boulder’s unseasonably warm November hasn’t stopped the ski hype — and this year’s Warren Miller film, SNO-CIETY, is fueling it. The movie dives into what makes mountain life magic: your crew, your rituals, and those perfect powder-day moments that bond a community.

Contributor Mattie sat down with Ellie Weiler, a Colorado-born pro snowboarder featured in the film, to talk about competing at the Research & Development event in British Columbia, what it’s like to join the Warren Miller legacy, and how snowboarding stays fun even when it’s fierce.
