Whitefish Ski Heritage Museum presents the award-winning documentary film “Mission: Mt Mangart” at the O’Shaughnessy on March 19. The film, written, produced and directed by champion extreme skier Chris Anthony, was voted Cannes World Film Festival’s Best Historical Film - April 2021 Edition. “Mission Mt. Mangart” follows the legendary 10th Mountain Division’s trailblazing efforts as an experimental infantry unit made up of world-class athletes, mountain men and cowboys during WWII. It takes us from the initial cold-weather training in the mountains between Vail and Leadville, to the fierce WWII battles in the mountains of northern Italy, and finally to the improbable giant slalom ski race at Mount Mangart on June 3, 1945. The 10th Mountain Division left behind an indelible legacy equally matched by their legendary heroism during wartime.
