WEEKEND: Winterfest to benefit Hurricane Ridge skiing

PORT ANGELES — Attendees can enjoy a prime rib dinner while whetting their appetites for snow sports at the Hurricane Ridge Winter Sports Club’s annual Winterfest fundraiser Saturday.

Tickets are $45 in advance and $50 at the door.

Besides dinner, the event will include live music by BBR, a series of short films featuring local skiers and snowboarders at Hurricane Ridge, and live and silent auctions.

Proceeds will support lift maintenance and operations, ski school and ski team operations, as well as scholarships to underprivileged children who would like to learn how to ski, snowboard or participate on the ski team.

The event will include the top films from the ­VideOlympics, a film festival/contest that the club held in the spring.

This year’s films include:

■ “Long Story Short” by Ethan Strahan.

■ “Never a Dull Moment” by the Z Boys.

■ “Sick Day” by the McColl Brothers.

■ “Tune into the Hurricane” by Tim Stanford.

■ “Summit to Sea” by GBF.

Community tables for eight are also available for $320.

These tables will be reserved with the name of donors prominently displayed.
