Got Huts? Hut-powered Adventures in the Alps Light & fast hut-to-hut mountain running/Grand ski tours/Alpine climbing and hiking
A benefit for the Alaska Huts Association.
Alaska Huts welcomes professional mountain sport photographers Dan & Janine Patitucci (PatitucciPhoto.com) for an outdoor adventure show straight from the Alps. Learn how hut-based trail runs, alpine climbs, hikes, and ski tours facilitate the rich and diverse mountain-sport culture that permeates the Alps, strengthening the bonds between fellow skiers, climbers, hiker, and runners of many nations.
More than simply refuges for mountain excursions (backcountry skiing, hiking, climbing, etc.), huts are a vital social element of European mountain culture that also allow for better understanding and greater stewardship of the surrounding ridges, peaks and valleys. This show highlights the peaks, the people, and the places of European mountain sports culture through the spectacular photos and entertaining tales of Dan and Janine’s professional work and endurance adventures – their own light-n-fast hikes, climbs, grand ski tours, and mountain runs.
The Patituccis, splitting their time between the American West and the Alps, have made a life together as photographers, writers, and managers of the online mountain sports resource dolomitesport.com
Thursday March 18, 2010, 8:00 PM, $8.00 at the door
