Documentary About the Deadly Avalanche on Alpine Meadows Coming to Video on Demand
On March 31, 1982, a large avalanche hit Alpine Meadows, burying the main lodge and parking lot in 20 feet of snow and killing 7 people. Forty years after the avalanche, a new documentary is telling the story of survival and tragedy on Alpine Meadows, and it will soon be featured in Northern California theaters.
Buried, created by filmmakers Jared Drake & Steven Siig, tells the harrowing story of the avalanche, including exclusive interviews with people who experienced the event. The film has been featured at select theaters and showings, including at Alpine Meadows on the 40th anniversary of the event.
On Tuesday, November 8, the film will be available to stream on Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video. It’s the first time the film has been available outside of theaters.
The film has already received plenty of accolades, winning the audience choice award at Telluride’s Mountainfilm, the jury award at the Austin Film Festival and best documentary at the Bend Film Festival. It has also been selected to play at film festivals in Banff, Whistler, Boulder, Lake Placid and Newport Beach.
“Essential viewing for skiers, but all audiences – skiers and non-skiers alike – will find Buried a riveting account of a natural disaster, not only in the details of the avalanche itself and subsequent rescue efforts, but on how the disaster affected people in the years following and became a dividing line in time for the survivors and their community,” said Ed Arentz, Greenwich co-president.
I was lucky enough to gain a sneak peek of the film and I can tell you, it’s one heck of a ride. Even if you know the story in detail (like I did), the film brought out emotions I wasn’t expecting. Trust me, whether you’re a skier or not, you’ll be on the edge of your seat during this gripping documentary.
Earlier this year, I welcomed Drake and Siig on the Talking NorCal Podcast to discuss the film. Here is our interview:
A fascinating discussion is worth comment. I do think that you need to write more about this issue, it
may not be a taboo subject but usually people do not
speak about these topics. To the next! All the best!!
Cryptocurrencies are a different decent choice, with Visa and MasterCard not far behind.
Its huge game selection and user-friendly internet site make it worthy
of a spot on our list.
