The Art of Flight

Saturday, I attended the Sochi premiere of the Art of Flight, the new snowboarding film by Curt Morgan and sponsored by Red Bull.  The film was shown at Kinoteatr Sochi at 8 p.m. to a full audience.  After spending the day at Rosa Khutor and touring the mountain and sites of the alpine events for Sochi 2014,  the timing was great and i was ready for some mountain action.  Mr. Morgan's film has sequences in Alaska, Chile, Argentina, British Columbia, Wyoming and Colorado and features some of the sport's most accomplished. The mountain scenery was spectacular and the cinematography was amazing, with amazing mountain visitas that left the viewer feeling airborne.  After nearly two hours of watching the best riders in the world rocketing off the most challenging mountains, I was sorry to see the film end.  This is a great film for anyone to see, whether they engage in mountain sports or not.

 From the crowds' reaction to the movie, one can see there are a lot of mountain sports enthusiasts in Sochi. With Rosa Khutor about to open for the season, they have plenty to be excited about.  Rosa Khutor opens on December 24 to the public.  I think quite a few of those in attendance last night will be on the slopes!
