In 2017 Salomon athlete, photographer and writer, Rickey Gates ran from South Carolina to San Francisco - a journey of 3700 miles over the course of five months. The run was about getting to know both himself and his country to a much better degree - especially during these times of divisive politics and polarized societies within our own borders.

The result of this run was a book, “Cross Country” published in April of this year by Chronicle Books and a 75 minute feature film Transamericana.

Join us on Saturday, September 26th at the Buttermilk Ski Area in Aspen, CO for a special Drive-In showing of Rickey Gates' film - Transamericana. Go for a run, pick up a signed copy of Rickey's book - Cross Country, then stick around for a Q&A afterward.

Rickey's suggested routes:

A Ten-mile loop from Buttermilk and an 11-Mile Point to Point - Snowmass to Buttermilk
