 MR)\, a Wenatchee-based\, grassroots non-profit\, will host a Q&A session 
 with the audience. \n\nA developer proposes a 7\,812-bed luxury resort nea
 r the top of Mission Ridge\, adjacent to the Mission Ridge Ski Area. Orcha
 rdists\, skiers\, hunters\, birders\, and Tribes are concerned about the i
 mpacts that this development would have on the ecology and culture of the 
 region. \n\nMission Ridge was an oasis during the last ice age\, while the
  surrounding terrain was buried under thousands of feet of glacial ice or 
 scoured by cataclysmic floods. The mountain became a refuge for plants\, a
 nimals\, and early humans\, evidenced by the fact that it has one of the h
 ighest occurrences of endemic plants in the region\, and continuous human 
 habitation going back before the building of the pyramids in Egypt. The fi
 lm\, Ridge to River\, follows locals as they trace lines across the mounta
 in\, following the migrations of the Colockum elk\, chasing ski turns\, an
 d growing food at its base. Ridge to River is a love letter to this landfo
 rm that stretches from Mission Peak to the Columbia River.\n\nAbout the pr
