Sammy Carlson’s two-year endeavor, “The Sammy C Project”, will have its Tahoe premiere screening at Sierra Nevada College on April 20.

In 2014, after winning five X Games medals, Carlson abruptly stepped away from competition and dropped out of Olympic contention even as slopestyle skiing was about to make its Winter Olympic debut. Instead, he decided to pursue a new path that would push him and the sport of skiing to new places at all costs.

Carlson’s newfound focus landed in the backcountry, where his drive and creativity could max out far beyond the limits of preset slopestyle courses.

The event is free and open to the public, with a $5 donation encouraged to support SNC’s Freeride Club.

Doors open at 7pm, with the film at 7:30pm in TCES 139/141.
