The Tetrahedron Outdoor Club is gearing up for the best-attended cultural event on the Sunshine Coast. The Banff Mountain Film Festival, hosted annually by the local nonprofit recreation organization, is expected to fill the Elphinstone Secondary School gymnasium on Friday, March 1 with as many as 750 audience members.
Some owners of winter activity businesses in B.C. say the warm weather and lack of snowfall is taking a toll, bringing poor, even dangerous, conditions on ski hills and backcountry trails.
The Tetrahedron Outdoor Club has moved the Sunshine Coast’s biggest one-night cultural event to a new time of year, uniting skiers and cinephiles alike for the annual Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival World Tour. Doors open at Elphinstone Secondary at 5:45 p.m. on Feb. 3; films begin at 7 p.m.
