Program Notes:
The Maine Outdoor Film Festival (MOFF) and WinterKids have teamed up to thoughtfully curate a night of cold-weather adventure films from the 2025 flagship festival, plus the world premiere of the WinterKids Documentary in celebration of their 25th anniversary.

Your event ticket includes a FREE lift ticket to Mt. Abram, so you can keep the winter magic going long after the credits roll.

We’ll celebrate 25 years of getting kids outside, moving, learning, and exploring, complete with hors d’oeuvres, raffle, a fund-a-need moment, and heartfelt stories from WinterKids alumni who’ll share how the program helped shape their lives. SNOW DAY DREAMS is for that kid inside us who just can’t wait for winter.

The screening will last about two hours, including a 20-minute intermission.

2 LEGS IS 2 EASY | 6.42 minutes | by Tamara Susa | United States | Short synopsis: Steve Karczewski was born with bone cancer in his leg. After a year of chemotherapy, his leg was amputated above the knee. Nowadays, Steve is seen on the slopes of Roaring Fork Valley. He was recruited by Challenge Aspen in 2008 to join their Paralympic racing team. There, coaches trained him to ski without a prosthetic, on one ski.

LINES | 9 minutes | by Josh Goldsmith | United States | Short synopsis: There’s a tense moment before every grand performance where apprehension turns to belief, and preparation meets presentation. We follow the interwoven journey of a skier and a rapper as they individually navigate this moment on stages of their own choosing.
