Landing at Stratton Moun- tain resort from Feb. 2-3 and 9-10, 2019, resort goers will be able to step into a giant CMH lounge located in the base area to experience the film in virtual reality firsthand and take the ride of a lifetime, all with your feet planted firmly on the ground. Filmed entirely at CMH Cariboos with highly customized, site-specific equipment from Google VR and Sherpas Cinema, the five-minute film was created to immerse the viewer into the experience and dispel the myth that Heli-Skiing is extreme, instead demonstrating that it’s more accessible to the average skier and boarder than commonly thought. The end result showcases the future of cinematic VR. “Being able to work We are Open Wed-Sat 10am-6pm Get more news at:
