Donated winter outerwear  articles benefit families in need in the Tahoe Truckee community  through the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation’s “Community  Christmas” program. The VIDEOGRASS  Premiere is at the Olympic Village Lodge in Squaw Valley. Doors open  at 7 pm and the show starts at 8 pm.

Following the  showings of VIDEOGRASS and BozWreck 3000, the 21 & up crew can  stick around for live music with The Fiz. The Fiz is frontman-ed by  Squaw Valley pro snowboarder Eric Messier, who also has a segment in  VIDEOGRASS. The cash bar during the film and after-party are 21  & up only. All premiere-goers who want to drink at the bar  during the film and stay for the after-party must be 21+ and have  valid I.D. In a sea of  cable cams and helicopter filming in videos today, VIDEOGRASS was  formed to focus on raw snowboarding, real personality, and  progression. When iconic pro shredders Mikey LeBlanc, Nima Jalali  and Darrell Mathes started VIDEOGRASS they hand-picked their wish  list of pros and ams, regardless of sponsors or money.
