South Lake Brewing Co hosts free mountain mental health film
John Padilla will introduce the documentary before a sponsor-funded gear giveaway.
A free documentary event about mental health in mountain communities is coming to South Lake Brewing Co in South Lake Tahoe. The program starts Saturday, October 24, 2026. The time is 6:30 PM. Guests do not need tickets, although attendance will end when the brewery reaches its capacity.
Mountain in My Mind 4 is the latest installment in a documentary series connecting snowsports with conversations about emotional well-being. The project aims to reduce shame surrounding the subject, increase understanding and collect funds supporting suicide prevention. Its mountain-town focus gives the evening particular relevance for Tahoe’s skiing and riding community.
Director and producer John Padilla, whom organizers describe as an award recipient, will open the program with background on the movie and its inspiration. A prize drawing will take place afterward, with gear and other items supplied by sponsors including Flylow, Giro, Toyota, RMU and LMNT. The film presentation comes after the drawing. Children, families and groups of friends may attend, along with professional skiers, recreational riders and anyone interested in the documentary’s subject.
- Admission is free and no ticket is required.

Evenings at the lodge now end on the sand: s'mores kits at the front desk, blankets by the door, and the lake going quiet at dusk.
Lakeside rooms with a private deck, a fire pit on the beach, and coffee at sunrise.
