For years, the Olympia Mountaineers have brought the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour to Olympia. It is one of our great traditions, and the film festival attracts over 700 members of the Olympia community for two nights every winter with its films of outdoor adventure, epic journeys, and inspiring stories. The film festival is the largest fund-raising event for the Olympia Mountaineers, and helps to bring us the outdoor programs and courses we have grown to love.
For inspiration, and for more information about the world tour visit the Banff World Tour website.
