Warren Miller Movie Event + Silent Auction a Huge Success

The Warren Miller Movie Event and Silent Auction, benefitting Crystal Community Ski Club (CCSC) was held on Thursday, November 17, 2022, and was a huge success for the club!

“It was inspiring to see so many members of the CCSC community and beyond come together for this event. From the individuals and businesses that donated items for the silent auction to our title sponsor, Stormcloud Brewing, our movie sponsor, Crystal Mountain, and the hundreds of people that purchased movie tickets and bid on silent auction items, the entire event was a huge success,” says Hunter Steinkamp, Operations Manager.

The evening began with dinner at Stormcloud Brewing from 4-6pm, where 20% of the proceeds benefitted the club. From there, the doors opened at the Garden Theater. Guests could make their final silent auction bids (after bidding took place online for the week prior), purchase items from the bake sale to benefit the Nordic program and grab goodies from our local Atomic ski rep, Patti Yearn-Andresen.

In the theater, our very own CCSC Program Director and Coach Marco Dudenbach spun tunes from his DJ booth, and the evening kicked off with some announcements and door prizes from Operations Manager, Hunter Steinkamp. Following these announcements, the premier of our CCSC season “movie” premiered on the big screen.

The Warren Miller movie played on the big screen to a crowd of more than 150 people. Following a brief intermission, a few more door prizes, and the close of the silent auction, the evening ended with everyone feeling excited for the upcoming season.

“You could really feel the energy from the room. We had just had our first snowstorm of the winter, and there was just this excitement for the upcoming winter season. We can’t wait,” says Beth Major, Nordic coach.

The best part of the night? $8,000 was raised to help CCSC get even more kids participating in programs this year.
