WINTERSPORTS -- A ski movie that examines skiing as a way of life, offering a glimpse into the journey of self-discovery that every skier takes -- is coming to Spokane Thursday, Nov. 13.

Days of My Youth will be screened at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday at Gonzaga University's Wolff Auditorium, 502 E
Boone Ave.  This is the same flick that screened at the Spokane Fair and Expo Center during the Mt. Spokane Ski Patrol Ski Swap.

The film travels the globe to captures moments that define the cutting-edge of what is possible on skis. From nearly impossible descents in Alaska to massive terrain features with U.S. Olympian Bobby Brown.

Days of My Youth showcases top action from the last two years rolled into one film.

Tickets, $10, are available online.

Spokane's screening is a part of a worldwide tour traveling to more than 80 theaters across the U.S., Canada and Europe.

“This is the first time in over 20 years of making ski films that we've had the luxury of taking 2 full winters to capture the action and really focus on our creative direction," says executive producer Murray Wais.

The film works with a small cast of top skiers, including Richard Permin, Mark Abma, James Heim, Michelle Parker, Cody Townsend, Markus Eder, Bobby Brown, Sam Anthamatten, and others with a special appearance by freeskiing pioneer Bobbie Burns.
