The Mountaineers
Fluff your couch cushions, grab some snacks, and make sure you have good internet connection, because the Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival World Tour is going virtual this year, and we have your exclusive access!
For the first time ever you can travel to breathtaking destinations, embark on daring expeditions, and celebrate the most remarkable outdoor achievements - all from the comfort of your living room.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created extraordinary circumstances around the world, and our live Mountaineers Banff World Tour screenings have been postponed or canceled. While we can’t replicate the experience of seeing the Banff films on the big screen surrounded by your friends and community at your local theatre, we are excited to be able to offer you access to curated programs of amazing outdoor films. No doubt they will still inspire you to live life to the fullest.
Virtual Ticket Options
The World Tour is a major source of annual fundraising for The Mountaineers community, and this year you can support us by choosing a single playlist, which you can view for 3 days after you first hit 'play', or by purchasing the bundle playlist, which allows 15 days of viewing.
- Single playlist (select either the Amber, Onyx, Ruby or Sapphire" playlists): $15 USD (3-day rental period)*
- Bundle playlists (includes both the Amber/Onyx or Ruby/Sapphire playlists): $28 USD (14-day rental period)*
To ensure that we receive a portion of the proceeds for each program purchased, please use our link to access the Banff Mountain Film World Tour tickets:
The Banff Centre will continue to add new playlists for purchase in early 2021. Be sure to check back after enjoying your first show this winter!
*The rental period begins immediately upon viewing (as soon as you press play). You will need to have an internet or wifi connection to view the films, as they are available only through online streaming (not download). If you have technical questions, reach out to the Banff help Centre for more information.
Live In Person Events
Due to Washington State COVID-19 gathering restrictions and concerns for public health, The Mountaineers is postponing in-person screenings. The support of our community, partners, and venues is still important and if we can safely gather later in the spring or summer of 2021 we hope to host in-person events in our Tacoma and Olympia branches. We will share more details as it becomes available.
