SUMMARY:FILM: Moonrise Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965\, Moonrise Kingdom tells the story of two twelve-year-olds who fall in love\, make a secret pact\, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down\, a violent storm is brewing off-shore — and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in more ways than anyone can handle. Bruce Willis plays the local sheriff. Edward Norton is a Khaki Scout troop leader. Bill Murray and Frances McDormand portray the young girl’s parents. The cast also includes Tilda Swinton\, Jason Schwartzman\, and Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward as the boy and girl. \nRating:\nPG-13 (for sexual content and smoking) \nGenre:\nComedy \nDirected By:\nWes Anderson \nWritten By:\nWes Anderson\, Roman Coppola \nRuntime:\n94 minutes \nCritical Mass: Tomatometer – 93% Audience Score – 86% \n“There are many echoes of Anderson’s earlier films\, particularly Rushmore and Tenenbaums. He’s an unapologetic romantic and Moonrise Kingdom is a study in wish-fulfillment.” \n– Sandra Hall\, Sydney morning Herald”This is a beautiful ode to first love with Anderson’s trademark style. The writing is sharp and witty and the cinematography and set designs are extraordinary. Moonrise Kingdom looks like a Norman Rockwell painting come to life.” \n– Michael Compton\, Bowling Green Daily News

Peter\, artist and scientist\, is the perfect mentor for outdoor painting; he understands so much about the land\, animals\, water and atmosphere and he shares all that he knows and loves with enthusiasm and spirit. We painted in the town\, at Bowron Lake\, summits on the road\, rivers and marshes\, and clouds in the sky. We honed our field studies in the studio. We worked hard and long and it seemed like play.” ~Louise Drescher\, Rossland\, BC \nParticipants will be given the option of staying in the new IMA residency multi-occupancy building “the Nest” or at any other accommodation provider in Wells. Each Artist will be provided with studio space\, as well as\, scheduled critiques\, demonstrations\, and ongoing hands-on work with Peter. \nPeter Corbett is considered by many to be one of western Canada’s leading plein air oil painters.

SUMMARY:Mount Everest Challenge
DESCRIPTION:7th Annual Mount Everest Challenge\nMarch 14\, 2019 – March 15\, 2019\nMount Everest Challenge \nWhat is the Everest Challenge? The Everest Challenge is the brainchild of Len Sinclair\, co-owner of Troll Resort. He did the math and determined that if a person were to complete a certain number of designated runs (on our mountain) it would be the equivalent height as having climbed Mount Everest! \nWhat are those designated runs? The magic number is 20\, but 7 of those runs are mandatory. The 7 mandatory runs are Snow White\, Hurdy Gurdy\, Viking\, White Lighting\, Overlander\, The Rush and Racer’s Edge. The remaining 13 runs are skier/snowboarder’s choice. It is a true test of what you can accomplish…and it IS possible. Lifts begin\, for the challengers\, at 8:30am and run until 4:19pm. A hotdog lunch and refreshment is provided at the bottom of the red lift. \nThis event is open to ALL AGES and an AMAZING DRAW PRIZES is handed out to each age category\, who completes their 20 runs! Age Catagories are: \n7 & under\, 8-16\, 17-35\, 36-49\, 50 and over \n**18 years & under\, MUST have a signature of their parent or guardian to participate** \n– THE EVEREST BASE CAMP CHALLENGE for ages 7 and under\nEvery year we have some wee little ones and THIS year we wanted to give them their own attainable goal. Everest Base Camp. The equivalent distance to reach Base Camp is 12 runs. The 7 mandatory runs and 5 more of their choosing. \nENTRY FEE AND RULES for MOUNT EVEREST\nEntry fee is $30 per person and other than the opportunity to challenge yourself\, you will also receive the collectible Troll Mount Everest T-Shirt\, event sticker\, lunch\, beverages and your name entered into the prize draw\, should you complete the challenge!\nWe still have the popular Speed Pass available. This handy little pass allows you to cut to the front of the line (Red Lift)\, up to 6 times! Cost is an additional $10\, and can be worth it when you give your waiting friends a wave as you cut in front of them. \nRULES \n1.No speeding\, this is a challenge\, not a race.\n2.The 7 runs identified on the attached trail map must be taken. You will need to pick up\, on each of the identified runs\, the token for that run which must be given to the attendant at the TOP of the Red Lift station\, in order for you to be credited for that run.\n3.The remaining 13 runs can be taken on any of the runs off of the top of the Red Lift station. No speeding!!!\n4.At the end of your 20th run\, turn in your bib at the bottom of the lodge.\n5.You have to make 20 runs to get into the draw for prizes. Make sure you check on how many runs you have made.\nHot dogs and drinks will be served at the bottom of the Red Lift\, for lunch.\nThe prizes for each age group will be given out by a random draw\, in the lodge\, at 5:00pm. \nCAMPING at EVEREST BASE CAMP \nThis has become a yearly tradition (and another way to get your name entered into a draw). Winter camping is fun\, and camping with your whole family is even more fun! At the end of the ski day\, on Saturday\, campers are welcome to set up their tents and prayer flags (if they have any). There will also be fantastic DRAW for those who camp. Trust us\, you and your whole family will want to get your name entered into this one 😉 \nPOTLUCK and MOVIE \nThere will be a potluck dinner in the lodge at 4:30- 5:30. Following the dinner\, we will encourage people to get crozy and settle in for a movie on the BIG screen (thanks to Al Frisby). This is a GREAT way to keep warm\, enjoy the family evening atmosphere in the lodge\, and relax before the BIG day tomorrow! \nCome out and enjoy our 7th annual Mt Everest event.
