ORCHARD PARK - Ski movie fans, families, and winter enthusiasts are invited to come together for a night of film, fun, and community support on Tuesday, January 20, when Lily’s Road presents the 2nd Annual Ski Movie Night Fundraiser at Wayland Brewing Company in Orchard Park.
The evening will feature a screening of the Teton Gravity Research film, Pressure Drop, along with a silent auction, photo booth, and several exciting prize opportunities. All proceeds benefit the Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program at Holiday Valley, helping individuals of all abilities access adaptive skiing, specialized equipment, and inclusive winter experiences.
Organizers say the event is designed to be family-friendly and welcoming to ski families, après-ski crews, and local ski clubs looking for a fun winter night out, all while supporting a meaningful mission rooted in community and accessibility.
In addition to the film screening, attendees can enjoy a photo booth by Max Collins Studio, perfect for capturing the crew, and bid in a silent auction featuring items such as two ski passes to Whiteface Mountain and a LEKI gear bundle valued at $600, courtesy of LEKI USA.

About the Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program: The Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program (LASP) at Holiday Valley provides adaptive ski and snowboard instruction for children and adults with physical and cognitive disabilities. Through specialized equipment, individualized lessons, and trained instructors, the program creates opportunities for participants to safely experience the joy of skiing while building confidence, independence, and connection.
LASP focuses on ability rather than limitation, helping students of all experience levels enjoy time on the slopes in an encouraging and inclusive environment. The program also works to remove financial barriers whenever possible, ensuring access to adaptive winter recreation for families throughout the region. Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program is a member of Move United Sport, a national organization supporting adaptive sports opportunities.
Funds raised through the Ski Movie Night help support programming costs, equipment upgrades, and expanded access for future participants. Tickets are on sale now, and donations are welcome. Tickets and additional event information can be found at https://givebutter.com/lilysroadinc.
Whether you’re passionate about skiing, love ski films, or simply want to support an inclusive local program making a real impact, this event offers a great opportunity to enjoy a winter night out while giving back.
