The cat’s out of the bag. Our North American ski sisters and brothers will soon be exposed to the home-grown gems that Aussies happen to call our own: the Australian Alps. Premiering on the Ski Channel on 25 September 2010 Winter Dreaming reveals the sublime magic of these peaks through three consecutive winters and of the people dedicated to unveiling their alpine stories.
Screening at the affectionately known ‘the Genny’ Hotel, ski hounds can catch a screening of this locally made, award-winning ski film on Tuesday 3 August 2010, 8.30pm. Get on down! At 8pm, local patrol guru Billy Barker presents a slide show on Billys Trips for powder hounds to magnificent Gulmarg in the Himalaya, while RMB’s Trevor Taylor unveils Antarctic images afterwards. A great night! The General Hotel, Great Alpine Rd, Mt Hotham.
Bennett and Anna from the Snowline Hotel in Harrietville turned it on for its inaugural Adventure Film Night with Stephen’s double-header of ‘Intrinsic’ Antarctica and ‘Winter Dreaming: an Australian Alps freeheel film‘. The crowd was intimate, warm and cosy—on par with the two-course meal including sensational tapas. Thanks to all for your support.

intrinsic Antarctica
Filmed over 3 months, Antarctica’s
polar landscape and its wild
inhabitants never cease to amaze.
From Wilhelmina Bay on the

Humpback whales— to the sub-
Antarctic isles, this short 7-minute
film hopefully shows why it’s easy
for this giant ice-cube to get in your
blood.

to inspired audiences locally and
around the globe, revealing the
Australian Alps as they have rarely
been seen. Local characters share
