8:00 pm: Mavericks at Elks Club

Montana freestyle skiers are the mavericks of the sport. Often without the financial means of their resort-based peers, passionate young athletes from blue-collar backgrounds in industrial and ranching towns like Missoula, Butte and Bozeman are largely self-taught, and have achieved success through sheer determination. Soaring hopes are often followed by crushing setbacks, and sometimes, redemption. During the 1998 Olympics in Nagano, Japan, Missoula's Eric Bergoust won the Olympic gold medal and set a world record for aerials after injuring himself in a training jump. A dozen years later, Butte's Bryon Wilson took home the Bronze for his extraordinary mogul performance in Vancouver, Canada. Maggie Voisin of Whitefish would follow with an X-Games gold medal following in the footsteps of Montana-bred freeskiing pioneer Tanner Hall.
