On 5th December, 2014, Holmlands proudly hosted our first event, with a very special screening of "Days of My Youth" at the Ham Yard Theatre in Central London. 

Presented by Red Bull Media House, in association with MSP Films, “Days of My Youth”, is a film that examines every skier’s lifelong affinity for the sport.

 

Narrated to the prolific readings of Alan Watts, this film exposes the many joys and occasional struggles associated with a lifestyle built around skiing. Filmed over two years using state of the art techniques and technologies, the movie offers a unique glimpse into the journey of self-discovery that every skier experiences. 

The team, along with an intimate cast of skiing’s modern day superstars, have looked through the lens in a new way to capture moments that redefine what is possible on skis. These premier athletes explore the globe and escape to mountainous playgrounds to challenge their innermost hopes and fears. “Days of My Youth” reminds us of that special feeling of our very first time on skis, and proves that skiing can keep you feeling young for a lifetime.

 

A great night was enjoyed by all who attended with prizes galore given away from ski holidays and customised fitted ski boots (after an gruelling 18 minute wall squat challenge!) to deep tissue massage treatments and ski jackets, with over £250  raised for Disability Snowsport UK.
