Thrills and Spills

Snowboarding through an avalanche might seem like a bad idea to you, but tackling moguls, turn pipes and rigid slopes are just everyday challenges for the pros. Get a glimpse at some of the most outrageous snow maneuvers at The Free Ride Film Fest. This theatre, presented by Tourism Ontario and Ryeka Sport Extreme Videos, will let visitors watch the latest international ski and snowboard films on the big screen. These movies by industry giants like Burton, Billabong and Warren Miller will show off the professionals as they try and conquer mother natures’ elements.
