The event will feature two documentary films. Stephen Grynberg's award-winning film, "A Life Ascending," that profiles the life of Ruedi Beglinger, acclaimed ski mountaineer and extreme mountain guide. Living on a glacier in the Selkirk Moun tains of British Columbia with his wife and two young daughters, Beglinger leads a wholly unique life.
The second film, "Purple Mountain Majesty Redux," was produced and directed by Blair Mahar, a Berkshire County resident and first president of the Thunderbolt Ski Runners. It chronicles the rich history of the Thunderbolt Ski Trail.
