“The Push”-Showing This Friday at Northstar
The Push is an inspirational documentary about the power of never giving up. Grant Korgan is a world-class adventurer, nano-mechanics professional, and husband. On March 5, 2010, while filming a snowmobiling segment in the Sierra Nevada back country, the Lake Tahoe native burst-fractured his L1 vertebrae, and suddenly added the world of spinal cord injury recovery to his list of pursuits.
On January 17, 2012, along with two seasoned explorers, Grant attempted the insurmountable, and became the first spinal cord injured athlete to literally PUSH himself nearly 100 miles to the most inhospitable place on the planet-the bottom of the globe-the geographic South Pole.
Grant and his guides reached their destination on the 100th anniversary of the first explorers to travel to the South Pole. Facing brutal elements, demanding topography and presumed physical limitations are just some of the challenges they faced along the journey. With this inspirational documentary, “The Push” team hopes to inspire people in all walks of life to achieve the seemingly insurmountable in their own lives, to push their own everyday limits, and to live their ultimate potential.
Prior to the films world premier at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival next weekend, Tahoe Mountain Club is hosting the very first showing of the film this weekend. Taking place at the Alpine Club in the Village at Northstar, this is going to be an intimate night with the Grant and the expedition team. For the full experience, add on a day experience with Grant Korgan and ski with an group at Northstar and enjoy lunch at Schaffer’s Camp.
