Sundance Film Festival

The most fabled affair of the year is—you guessed it— the 10-day Sundance Film Festival. A cinephile’s dream come true, Sundance transforms our little ski town into a hotspot for Hollywood types (non-celebrities welcome!). For over three decades, it has premiered some of the greatest independent films ever made, and, as a festival-goer, you’re likely to see history in the making. Pro tip: take a break from screenings to hit the slopes. Nearly nonexistent lift lines and undisturbed snowfall mean skiers and snowboarders can rejoice! With the crowds engrossed in all things film, you’ll get those coveted first tracks and lots of room to carve, or wipeout, without an audience. And remember to brush up on your small talk skills because, when you’re not in a darkened theater, you may share bar space and banter with a movie biz up-and-comer.
