The Banff Film Festival is a world-renowned celebration of outdoor adventure and exploration through the captivating medium of film. Originating in Banff, Canada, this festival has evolved into a global phenomenon, curating a selection of the most awe-inspiring and visually stunning films in the realms of adventure sports, environmental conservation, and outdoor pursuits.
Why the Banff Film Festival Matters to the Vasa Ski Club:
The Banff Film Festival isn’t just a night of breathtaking films—it’s the Vasa Ski Club’s biggest fundraiser, directly supporting youth ski programs in Northern Michigan:

  • Sparks (K–5): Introduce kids to skiing and active outdoor play.
  • Flyers (Middle School): Build ski skills and confidence while exploring competition.
  • Raptors (High School): Develop technique and create lifelong skiers.

Every ticket, concession, and piece of merchandise helps these programs thrive, ensuring skiing remains accessible and inspiring for the next generation.

📅 October 9 | City Opera House, Traverse City
