OUTDOOR FILMS -- The largest environmental and adventure film festival in North America, is coming to the historic Panida Theatre in Sandpoint tonight and Saturday, sponsored by the Clark Fork-Pend Oreille Conservancy.

The festival’s award-winning environmental and outdoor adventure films were chosen from among the favorites at the annual film festival held in the Sierra Nevada foothills each January.

Event raffle prizes include items from sponsor organizations and a grand prize donated by Boulder Hut Adventures -- a trip for two valued at $2,000.

It's a great Canadian mountains getaway, assessed in winter by helicopter... I've been there!  Check out my video of the backcountry skiing ops provided by a Sandpoint family that operates Boulder Hut.

Get tickets in advance online here or at REI Spokane at 1125 N Monroe.
