Aspen, CO— October 28, 2025. Aspen Valley Ski & Snowboard Club is fueling the fall stoke for the upcoming ski season with three ski movie nights in the Roaring Fork Valley in November.  

“Our athletes are so pumped for the season to begin and to return to snow,” said AVSC Freestyle/Freeride Program Director Eric Knight, who is entering his 30th year with the club. “We wanted to celebrate that anticipation with them and also build the stoke with our Roaring Fork Valley community. When we got the opportunity to bring in these movies, we jumped on it.” 
On November 6 at 7pm at the Crystal Theatre in Carbondale and November 21 at 7pm at the Wheeler in Aspen, AVSC is hosting a “Night of Stoke,” which includes a premiere showing of the feature-length ski movie Ornada by Armada as well as Hot Dog Hans favorites, a movie short by Faction, giveaways, and an appearance by Olympic athlete and X Games phenom Torin Yater Wallace, who is featured in the ORNADA movie. 

Long anticipated, the feature-length Team movie ORNADA is the culmination of Armada’s contribution to freeskiing and the culture that surrounds it. A two-year labor of love, ORNADA fuses revolutionary skiing and artistic vision into a one-of-a-kind film featuring Armada’s athletes slaying everything from the steepest lines in Alaska to rowdy street sessions in Quebec and elaborate park setups in Riksgränsen. 

Basalt-native and AVSC alum Torin Yater-Wallace will be on-hand for both showings. Yater-Wallace was the youngest athlete at the time to medal at the X Games and an Olympic athlete. Retired from competition, Yater-Wallace, an Armada ambassador, continues to showcase his groundbreaking freeskiing vision through video projects. 

“I’m fortunate to have a part in the film along with legendary professionals that I look up to, who are icons at Armada, like Tanner Hall and Sammy Carlson,” said Yater-Wallace, who lives in the Roaring Fork Valley and will attend both events. “It’s a star-studded roster in the movie.” 

In addition to ORNADA, AVSC will show a short film “Sugar Bowl” from Faction skis and Hot Dog Hans favorites. Hans is the alter ego of Olympian and AVSC alum Alex Ferreira and a local legend in his own right.  

These Night of Stoke events are free to Team AVSC athletes and coaches with a suggested donation of $10+ for the public. All proceeds go to AVSC’s scholarship fund to support the organization’s mission to ensure all youth in the greater Roaring Fork Valley have the opportunity to excel as athletes and as people through winter sports. AVSC is grateful for the sponsorship of Hamilton Sports and Two Leaves and a Bud, who helped make these showings possible. 

A third ski movie evening will take place courtesy of the Crystal Theatre in Carbondale which also benefits AVSC. On November 13 at 7pm, the Crystal will show Teton Gravity Research’s 30th anniversary movie Pressure Drop. The first showing in Aspen sold out and included a cameo of AVSC alumni and coach Kelly Hilleke, who Powder Magazine recently called “the most exciting inclusion on the men’s roster” of the Freeride World Tour. Hilleke will be in attendance at the event as well. Tickets are $20 for the public and $15 for AVSC Team athletes and coaches.  

Tickets are now on sale for all three evenings via the Teamavsc.org link here.
