Dec 4-6 Best of Banff Movie Festival coming to Van

The Best of Banff is coming to Vancouver on Dec 4-6. There is a couple of movies about skiing.

Mountain Town: The Cowboy & The Park Goddess
Isabelle Fallardeau is a young woman whose passion for snowboarding and penchant for power tools has led her to a career as one of the world's only female terrain park builders. Mac Smith is a lifelong rancher, environmentalist and ski patrolman who experienced personal tragedy and triumph while leading the development of Aspen's Highlands Bowl.

The Unbearable Lightness of Skiing
A season of backcountry skiing, described by a keen and passionate narrator.
This movie was made by Greg Hill.

Under the Influence
Follow the mind-blowing efforts of today's top riders in the amazing conditions that emerged from one of the deepest winters in recorded history. This special version for the Banff tour features relentless powder in Jackson Hole and incredibly steep spines in Alaska.

Plus the usual action movies on climbing, BASE jumping and biking and some "mountain culture" movies thrown in between so you can catch your breath
