Across the country, people who depend on winter for their livelihood are feeling the heat. On the sidelines of skiing and snowboarding, a struggle to reverse rising temperatures is unfolding. Come see how climate change is already impacting communities that depend on winter sports, from Vermont to Wisconsin and the Rockies and learn how ski towns and the snow sports industry are paving the way towards a clean energy future. The screening will be followed by a short presentation/update on the work of Citizens Climate Lobby, a nonpartisan organization working to pass national climate legislation. YOU MUST HAVE A TICKET FOR ADMISSION! Please contact Jim for Ticket Availability.
