Beneath the Surface- FSAC and Redside Fundraiser
Liberty Theater Hailey

Join us for an evening of film, storytelling, and honest conversation about the mental health realities within our guiding and outdoor communities.

The Redside Foundation and the Sawtooth Avalanche Center invite you to a special screening of two powerful short films, REDSIDE and Beneath The Surface, followed by a personal and heartfelt presentation from professional snowboard heli guide, fishing, and whitewater raft guide Jamie Weeks who will share his own experiences navigating mental health challenges in the outdoor and guiding world. MC’d by local rock and backcountry ski guide, and star in REDSIDE, Jon Preuss.

These stories illuminate what so many in our community understand deeply – that the strength, resilience, and independence that define guides, and serious outdoor athletes can also make it hard to ask for help. Together, we’ll open up space for real conversations and connection around what it means to care for ourselves and each other.

Featured Films

REDSIDE — A look inside the lives of ski and river guides and the work of The Redside Foundation, dedicated to supporting their mental, physical, and financial health.

Beneath The Surface — A beautifully crafted exploration of mental health within the mountain and ski guiding communit

Why It Matters:
This evening isn’t just about awareness — it’s about action. All proceeds and donations will directly benefit The Redside Foundation and the Sawtooth Avalanche Center, two organizations working year-round to keep our community healthy, supported, and safe.
