The Colorado Mountain Club – the other CMC – is bringing the 10th annual world tour of the Winter Wildlands Alliance’s Backcountry Film Festival to Colorado Mountain College in Leadville. This year, the event is on Friday, Feb. 13, as part of its Colorado tour, which wraps up in Grand Junction Feb. 25.
Get ready for a night of some of the year’s greatest short ski films from both small independent filmmakers and renowned professionals who tell visual and audio stories of the backcountry, nonmotorized recreation and environmental preservation. These films have been selected by a jury and assembled into a 90-minute program.
The event is being held at the college’s Climax Molybdenum Leadership Center Gym, 901 S. Highway 24, in Leadville. Tickets are $10/Colorado Mountain Club members, and $12/nonmembers. Tickets are just $2 for current full-time CMC students. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., the show starts at 8 p.m. and proceeds benefit the Colorado Mountain Club.
