SUMMARY:The Hidden Lines—Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, January 3 \n Doors 5pm\, Film 5:45pm \nShowing of the film The Hidden Lines (22min)\, includes social hour\, film screening\, Q&A and behind-the-scenes slideshow. \nAt the heart of this film is Adam Kruszyna\, a Vermont native whose mental map of his home terrain has been years in the making. What began in the 250-acre forest behind his childhood home has grown to include the rugged backcountry of Jay\, Vermont. An engineer by trade and a dedicated skier\, Adam doesn’t reject technology — he uses it with intention. By tracking routes\, logging conditions\, and mapping lines\, he not only makes the terrain more navigable\, but also builds a deeper\, more intuitive understanding of the landscape he calls home. \nIn The Hidden Lines\, we follow Adam as he returns to previously written-off zones with a more refined eye\, revisiting terrain with a methodical blend of intuition and engineering precision. His goal is not just to ski the best lines on the East Coast\, it’s to connect to them deeply\, and in doing so\, connect to something larger than skiing. \nSuggested Donation: $10 \nBuy Tickets\n  \n
