Snowvana Experiences & Events
1000 Free Kids Skis from Next Adventure!
Want to get your little ones excited about skiing? Get them their first pair of skis!
Next Adventure is giving away a free pair of kid's toy skis to 1000 "never-ever" kid skiers. “My first skis” will fit on any kid's snow boot and are best suited for kids under age 7. These skis are all about teaching balance and allowing the kids to practice shuffling in skis and get accustomed to the awkward feeling of “oversized feet,” all while in the comfort of your own home. " My son spent more time with these skis on our hallway carpet and in our front yard than he ever did on snow, they are just great practice," said Deek Heykamp co-owner of Next Adventure.
Kids and a Parent must be present at the Next Adventure booth to try out these signature model skis before receiving your very own pair. There are a limited number to give away each day so come early as there are on a first-come first-served basis.

Mt. Hood Film Fest
Amateur Film Competition –
This year, we teamed up with our friends at Level 1 and Unofficial Networks to host the first-ever Snowvana Amateur Film Competition! With $5,000 in prize money up for grabs, we received a ton of great submissions from a handful of impressive crews. Now that the winners have been announced, we’re excited to invite the top crews to showcase their films in-person at Snowvana’s Film Fest!
Anywhere From Here –
The sport of skiing is unquestionably one of the most diversified recreational pursuits imaginable. By the time a lifelong skier reaches middle age, he or she has likely dabbled in or fully dedicated him or herself to a myriad of facets within the sport. Each facet provides an entirely new set of experiences, thrills, challenges and rewards.
Matchstick Productions 2022 ski film explores this world of opportunities through the eyes of a 12 year-old freestyle phenomenon. Through his voice, the audience hears the skiing aspirations of such a 12 year-old, a kid who just wants to play and doesn’t have to ponder “real life” quite yet.
The core of this film is packed with a star studded cast of skiers shredding across the globe.
