Join us to launch the festival in style with our legendary mountain themed quiz and pizza night. This year we’ve teamed up with The North Face to bring a series of inspiring films showcasing the human side of performance mountain sports into the mix, making an action packed evening not to be missed.
Elsey Davis – Circuit of Cornwall
Join ultrarunner Dr Elsey Davis as she shares the grit, heartbreak, and purpose behind her record-breaking 400-mile run of Cornwall’s perimeter to raise money for Alzheimer’s Research. Watch The North Face athlete turn exhaustion into strength and loss into motivation – proving that endurance is as much about heart as it is about miles.
Leo Slemett – Better Up There
In Léo Slemett’s world, there are highs: freeriding and love. And lows: illness, death, collapse. And one question: How to find hope or joy in the midst of misfortune?
Arianna Tricomi – Talking Transition
Talking Transition follows Arianna Tricomi – one of the most successful athletes on the Freeride World Tour – as she closes the competition chapter of her career and reflects on her constantly evolving relationship with the mountains. The film offers insights into the mind of an athlete at a turning point, reflecting on a life as a competitor, and exploring new challenges while celebrating the beauty of freeskiing in Canada, Japan, and the Alps.
Followed by a pizza buffet including a free drink and festival opening night mountain themed pub quiz with prizes from The North Face.
Quiz requires teams of four, you can join up with new friends to make a team on the night.
