Yesterday I went to see the Banff Mountain Film Festival at the Lensic in Santa Fe. Most of the films were entertaining while a few were a bit slow. Unfortunately, I had already seen King Lines which was the best part. A long film showed a norwegian female base-jumper and freeride skier, Karina Hollekim. She started base-jumping after only 20-something sky dives but she was certain that it was her thing to do. In the film she had an accident during a competition and broke almost everything below her waist. After multiple surgeries she is apparently able to walk but cannot flex her legs much. However, she is planning to be able to ski again.
Another interesting film was a film about a very tricky north shore/trail course in the woods. It must be a lot of work to put such a course in the woods.
