Freshtival

I was walking past Source and saw the poster for the Freshtival ski film festival (http://www.freshsports.ca/freshtival/) in Calgary. Has anyone been to it before ? Is it usually any good ? Better than the Warren Miller stuff these past few years ?

You missed a great deal, not to mention some super skiing. The last movie, Seven Sunny Days was the best one. The did a great remake of the opening scene of A View To A Kill, complete with explosions and guys skiing off a cliff, ditching the skis and parachuting down but minus the snowboarding.

That was followed by about 10 minutes of watching base jumpers wearing wing suits fly down and about 1 inch from the side of the mountains. In one scene, they attached a camera to the leg of one of the jumpers such that it looked like the viewer was following him. It was awesome !!
