Ski | Outdoors Starts In Here

Party like a ski star! Wausau Welcomes Winter with Warren Miller & Apres’ Ski Fun Nov. 15th

You don’t have to be in the mountains to celebrate ski season. Warren Miller’s Film NO TURNING BACK is coming to Wausau’s Grand Theater November 15th, 2014 with a bang-up ski party to follow!

Warren Miller Entertainment’s highly anticipated 65th film, No Turning Back, celebrates a legacy that dates back to before skis had edges. From the top of Greece’s Mount Olympus, to Japan and the Swiss Alps, skiers and snowboarders leave fresh tracks on faces that have never seen skiing and snowboarding quite like this before. Warren Miller always entertains and the annual film release is anticipated each season by skiers and non-skiers alike. If you’ve ever lived through a cold snowy winter, you’ll appreciate what the athletes in No Turning Back will show you. Find film details at www.warrenmiller.com and you can check out the full trailer here:

When you’ve finished your popcorn and you’re aching to get first tracks, the party is just getting started in the Great Hall at The Grand Theater where your film ticket also gets you in to an evening of après-ski fun in the downtown ski-town of WaUSAu, Wisconsin.
