The Banff Mountain Film Festival is returning to Portland again this year on Tuesday evening, February 15th at the State Theater. Tickets are already on sale, so get yours soon. You don' t want to miss out!

A trip to the Banff is a mandatory indoor outing for all adventurers. There's always an exciting and entertaining menu of high quality films that will take you on heart-pounding adventures to the far corners of the globe. It looks like this year we'll be skiing, snowboarding, ice climbing, trekking, kayaking and mountain biking in places like Alaska, Canada, Colorado, Australia and Russia. Yes!

So get your tickets, grab a beer at the concession, sit down and strap yourself in for a wild ride through eight incredible films. And maybe you'll even win one of the many great raffle prizes.

I'm so excited about Banff that I volunteered to do the "roadie" thing this year, helping to unload the equipment off truck before the show. Just like a good ski bum... anything for a free pass! Thanks Tom.
