LAS VEGAS - Oct. 31, 2016 - PRLog -- Lee Canyon's volunteer ski patrol hosts its 4th annual kick off to ski/snowboard season film screening and fundraiser on Saturday, Nov. 5 at The Space (3460 Cavaretta Court, Las Vegas).

The National Ski Patrol's Las Vegas chapter is comprised entirely of volunteers who provide care and assistance in the event of an emergency within the resort and its immediate surroundings. Patrollers must stay up-to-date on safety and rescue training as well as maintain their certifications. The money raised from the event supports patrollers' rescue education such as avalanche training.

The film features interviews and commentary by ski film pioneer Warren Miller. TGR's film celebrates the company's 21st birthday and follows their team as they catch massive air from India to Alaska.
