'Electric Greg' 

 A carbon neutral quest to become a better adventurer. A documentary film by Switchback Entertainment

Record-breaking mountain endurance athlete, Greg Hill, has never shied away from a goal. Through his time spent in the mountains he's seen the affects of climate change first-hand and came to realize the way he was approaching the mountains was only making the problem worse. Two years ago he changed his approach and set out to climb 100 peaks without burning any fossil fuels. But the question is: will it make a difference?

Run Time - 19min


FREE SKI & BOARD WAXING
Get snow ready! Bring your skis (downhill or Nordic) or board for a free wax. Waxing will be done by MEC staff. The wax machine will be rolling all night!

Waxing will be done on a first come first serve basis.
