Join us for a screening of 300 Miles Melting, a documentary film that explores climate change, winter recreation, and skiing 300 miles up the state of Vermont. A Q&A will follow the screening. Featured panelists will be announced soon!

Attendees are also invited to explore Losing Winter in the Gallery which will be open both before and after the screening. In this exhibit, artist Lynn Cazabon presents participatory artworks and an archive of memories, revealing personal and cultural ties we have to the winter season in the Seacoast region, and reflecting upon what we are collectively losing due to climate change impacts on seasonal patterns.

Film synopsis:
Climate change is our planet’s number one threat. And one of its biggest targets is being overlooked: New England. While major ski resorts maintain an image with overwhelming snowmaking, the backcountry of this region paints a real picture of what's going on. And there's no better place to look than Vermont's Catamount Trail, which spans 300 miles up the length of the state.

Enter 300 Miles Melting: A film that follows skier and activist, Torey Lee Brooks, as she attempts to ski—and learn from—the entire Catamount Trail amidst a turbulent winter. Along the way, we meet brilliant minds including Bill McKibben (author and activist), Shelby Semmes (Trust For Public Land), Dr. Liz Burakowski (University of New Hampshire), and Matt Williams (Catamount Trail Association).
