You don’t have to journey to Banff, Canada to see the legendary Banff Mountain Film Festival. Catch the steepest and deepest in high-adrenaline outdoor sport films when the 2012 Radical Reels Tour stops in Chapel Hill and Winston Salem. Hurtle down steep untouched powder, feel the cold spray of stomach-dropping kayak first descents, fly high with the world’s wildest BASE jumpers, and much more in extreme mountain sports.

Great Outdoor Provision Co. will host this limited engagement screening, made up of the best selections in this year’s festival, comprised of climbing, paddling, mountain biking, BASE jumping, skiing, snowboarding, and other action sport films, all shot in spectacular hi-definition.
