The Awakening of Winter
Contributed by Sierra Winter Smith
As the leaves begin to fall and the crisp air shocks us in the morning, many Alaskans start gearing up for another wonderful winter sports season. Snowmobilers, snowmachiners, skiers, snowboards, kite surfers, winter campers, and more. We daydream about the bluebird days when the untracked snow covers backcountry Alaska. We all look forward to exploring. We look forward to winter.
At Awaken Productions we like to capture this love and ambition through film and look forward to bringing you another great season of our Awakening of Winter Events. This year we are hosting two film premiers where winter sport enthusiasts (and anyone else who wants to join) come together to watch Alaskan-made films and reunite a community of people unified in the snow.
Soft Showing || The Breeze Inn || Seward Alaska
Our first event is on October 28th at the Breeze Inn in Seward Alaska. We welcome you to join us for some sneak peeks of the film, a costume contest, great door prizes, and fun. Book a room at The Breeze Inn for the night by calling 1-907-224-5237 and mentioning the promo code SIERRAWINTER for a discount. This event will not show the full film and admission is FREE.
Premier || Hilltop Ski Area || Anchorage Alaska
Our second and main event is on November 11th at Hilltop Ski Area starting at 5:00 PM. Come early to grab some food, and some great beverages from Magnetic North Brewing Company, meet our event vendors, view sled wraps by Sierra Winter, win great door prizes, watch some short films from Alaskan Film Makers, and see the full Awakening of Winter film, created by producer Josiah Smith. Tickets are $10.00 and they can be purchased in advance at https://awakenproductionsak.com/ or at the door.
Win Door Prizes
We have a long list of sponsors who have donated wonderful door prizes that will be given away at both events. All participants will be given one door prize entry upon arrival and additional door prize tickets can be purchased at the event. You could win amazing prizes like a BCA 2.0 Avalanche Float Bag donated by Chaz Limited Collison Express, Discounted Sled Wrap Services from Artwork by Sierra Winter, Goggles from 509, and so much more.
