Park City, UT - Park City Mountain Resort on Tuesday will host the world premiere of the resort’s new snowboarding movie, “I Ride Park City” at the Town Lift Plaza in Park City.

“Park City Mountain Resort is thrilled to premiere its second feature film, ‘I Ride Park City,’ on the mountain, under the stars with special guests Shaun White and the Park City All-Stars,” said Jim Mangan, director of action sports marketing for Park City Mountain Resort and director of “I Ride Park City.” “It’s a privilege to have made this movie with so many talented riders and to see the resort’s best terrain on the big screen.”

“I Ride Park City” features some of the world’s top snowboarding talent, including Shaun White, Torah Bright, Torstein Horgmo, Eero Ettala, Aaron

Biittner, Heikki Sorsa, Dan Brisse, and Erin Comstock. “I Ride Park City” is the only movie that Shaun White has participated in this year. Park City Mountain Resort was the only resort filmed in the movie with the terrain parks, the Eagle Superpipe, Jupiter Peak, out of bounds locations and historic mining buildings all showcased. The town of Park City was prominently featured in the movie as tribute to its rich mining history and distinguishable landmarks.

The movie’s unique camera angles and movement were enabled through the longest cable cam available, which stretches for more than 2,000 feet. As well, helicopter shots created a distinct look and feel to the action sports film.

The “I Ride Park City” world premiere will begin at 8:00 p.m. at the Town Lift Plaza, located directly off of lower Main Street, with an autograph signing including Shaun White. The film will screen at 9:00 p.m.

Admission to the event is free. Several prizes will be given away including Park City Mountain Resort season passes, an autographed Shaun White snowboard and gear from DC, Quiksilver, Roxy and Burton. An after-party will be hosted at Harry O’s on Main Street for those who are 21 years of age and up.

“I Ride Park City” follows in the success of its movie predecessor, “City. Park City.,” which was the first 16 mm snowboard movie to feature only one resort and was nominated in two categories at the 2007 X-DANCE Film Festival.
