Pat, and other East Kootenay locals, including Bruce Kirkby and Scott Niedermayer, collaborated with DOP Kevin Shepit on a documentary film, Alas Resort, based on the controversy surrounding the proposed Jumbo Glacier Resort in the Purcell Range near our home.

Please visit the Jumbo Wild site or Wildsight.ca for details on how you can help stop this environmental and socioeconomic disaster from happening, or dial in the seven minute trailer, which was a finalist at the 2008 Vancouver Mountain Film Fest finalist.
