Eight Utahns are among the athletes whose skills and personalities are exhibited in the movie, which will premiere at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City. Four of those performers — Kalen Thorien and Kaylin Richardson of Park City, Salt Lake County’s Ty Peterson and Jeremy Jensen of Logan — are scheduled to attend the opening.
Jensen is the founder of Grassroots Powdersurfing, a company that makes binding-free snowboards designed to allow riders to “return to the roots of snowboarding and embrace the original desire to surf the mountains in the same way surfers ride waves and skateboarders ride streets, completely binding free and hands free.
