High Fives Foundation: Behind the Scenes

Mountainfilm in Telluride screens numerous films with professional athletes — skiers, bikers and even climbers — who drop of a variety of altitude-inducing ledges, cliffs and kickers. Sometimes even the pros land badly and become grievously injured. High Fives Foundation is a relatively new nonprofit organization based in Lake Tahoe that works with athletes who have suffered a life-altering injury while pursuing their dream in the winter action sports community.
