Wed & Thurs, Oct 29 & 30, Warren Miller’s 76th Film, "SNO-CIETY" celebrates the community and culture of snow sports, proving winter is more than just snow.  It’s about the tight-knit community, shared rituals, and sense of belonging that come with snow culture. The film explores a world where snow creates its own society, bound together by mountain life, adventure, and seasonal tradition.

“SNO-CIETY” takes viewers on a journey from the Scottish Highlands and the streets of Finland to the back bowls of Whitewater, BC, and a local hill-turned-terrain park in downtown Denver. With a unique, fun, and motivational narrative, the film celebrates both the action and the camaraderie of winter.

PSC will have a table in the lobby for two of the events:  Tivoli Theater in Downers Grove andat the Davis Theatre in Chicago.  So, stop by early to say hello!  There will be prizes and giveaways throughout the evening. Wear your PSC gear and stop by our table to show your support. Here are the Chicagoland showings:

·       Oct 29, 2025 (Wed)  7:00pm:   Tivoli Theater, Downers Grove

·       Oct 30, 2025 (Thur)  7:30pm:  Davis Theater, Chicago (4614 N. Lincoln Ave)

To get your tickets in advance click here:  https://warrenmiller.com/film-tour 

Note: RSVP on Meetup for one or both of these two showings so we have an idea of how many people to expect.  You will need to still purchase your tickets to attend this great Warren Miller film.
