They covered a great deal of outcomes that related to both my Grade 3 and Grade 4 life science curriculum. I was very impressed by that . . . The stations were great, any time that they are in small groups discussion, questioning, and touching the different things make everything more engaging and memorable . . . Excellent program, you have clearly all worked hard to develop it.” “For me it complements my rainforest unit so the students make connections between the lessons I have given them . . . It is great for the kids to get information from different sources that connect with previously taught concepts as it solidifies the learning . . . The important part is this is an outstanding experience for the students which is lead by someone who is knowledgeable and has good group management skills which means learning is going on.”

After multiple recce’s and two days of rigging, all that is left is to jump… North Shore Betty - Canada, North Shore /12mins/ The misty forests above North Vancouver, British Columbia are hallowed ground for mountain biking, a place where Betty Birrell, at age 45, picked up mountain biking after a career as a mountaineer and professional windsurfer. Silent Steward - USA /4mins/ This is a story of saving the seasons and healing the soul. Tele Dan has gone from medic in the military to Silent Steward of Crystal Mountain . Pass it on - Canada, Squamish /11mins/ Pass It On celebrates three locals who spread their love of Squamish climbing into the fabric of the broader community. In this series, we meet Sandy Ward of the Lil’wat Nation, who dedicates time to sharing her climbing knowledge with local indigenous youth; we get silly with Tami Knight, route developer of the late 70s and 80s; and go projecting with long-term carer Michelle LeBlanc who takes residents in their 80s on imaginary expeditions.

Free Rider - France /34mins/ Sam Anthamatten and Victor De Le Rue explore the wildest corner of Alaska, in search of the craziest spine walls to ski and snowboard. The film is aiming to get the viewer to feel -as if you were in their shoes- what it's really like to surf such mountains; to understand what so called "free riders" are made of, and what could be the purpose and the beauty of "freeriding".
