It’s hard to overstate the impact Freshtival has had on the Rockies ski scene.
That changed in 2003 when Fresh Skis brought Feshtival, the first ski movie festival, to town.
All of a sudden, all the best films and athletes were coming to Calgary.
The main thing FRESH did was jumpstart a modern ski scene in the Rockies.

Skier magazine called the original Freshtival A coming-out party for the Calgary ski scene.
And they added that, the city has never seen such a collection of ski talent in one place.
In Hojis words, Through Steve, we got to hangout with skiers like JP.
Then, eventually, going skiing and working on things in Whistler, but it all started with Fresh.
Without Freshtival and Steve we would have never met those guys.
They would have never come to Calgary.
It meant a lot to me.
Popcorn, beer and ski movies on the big screen.
Its the best annual tradition!
