Now in its third year, the Alpinist (née Barry Corbet) Film Festival has been a model for how to build such an event: organic, paying homage to tradition, rooted in the community. No velvet ropes.

All proceeds from the pre-parties, film festival, silent auction, shwag and beer sales and post-parties will be donated to 1% for the Tetons, a branch of 1% for the Planet. Business and individual members of 1% for the Tetons donate one percent of their gross revenues to a fund focused on supporting conservation and sustainability initiatives in and around the Tetons.
