Rolling into Squaw Valley last Saturday felt more like a busy winter ski day than an October weekend. Cars were parked all the way to the Opera House building. Nearly 5,000 people attended the much anticipated release of McConkey. The film’s creators were also in attendance along with many of the cast, friends and family. The entire valley raged on all cylinders after the show. The film will now tour across the country including stops in Los Angeles and New York City.

The much anticipated world premiere of McConkey will be hosted at Squaw Valley’s KT-22 Base Bar on Saturday, October 5. The outdoor venue at the foot of KT-22 is a fitting location to the showcase the story of a man who called Squaw Valley his home. Tickets are available at squaw.com for $15. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and dress warm.

Last Thursday, Good People put on a party at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco. Featuring displays from companies like Praxis, Freewaters, Save the Waves and Sportgevity, it was a night of cocktails, dancing, art viewing and inspiring speeches by Dr. Robb Gaffney and Ryan Seelbach.

According to its founders, Outdoor SF is a “a collaboration between non-profits and local brands bringing the best of the oceans, mountains, and streets of San Francisco together.” Exhibitors and attendees shared the common goal of enjoying our natural playgrounds consciously and sustainably.
