Making plans for Memorial Day weekend (May 25 - 28)? You might want to put Mountainfilm in Telluride on your radar. The little mountain town of Telluride, Colorado, boasts great mountaineering, a nice boulderfield and the world famous Ophir Wall for trad climbing. Add an appearance by climbing's master of stone, Chris Sharma, and a passel of the best mountain movies and you have an exemplary spring destination.

Mountainfilm in Telluride has a celebrated history in mountaineering. The event began in 1979 with a few screenings of climbing films and, since then, the festival has attracted leading names in alpinism, such as Sir Edmund Hilary, Royal Robbins, Yvon Chouinard, David Breashears, Conrad Anker, Lynn Hill, Timmy O’Neill and Alex Honnold.
