First woman to complete Ice Age Trail in winter featured in Banff Mt Film Festival

Emily Ford was the first woman, first person of color, and only the second documented person to complete Wisconsin's Ice Age Trail in winter.  Her adventure was documented by Jesse Roesler, who met up with Emily about 500 miles into her trek. 

The film, "Breaking Trail," will screen at the Banff Mountain Film Festival at the DECC in Duluth on Friday, Jan. 7.

WTIP's CJ Heithoff caught up with Ford, where she is guiding outdoor adventures at Wintergreen Sleddog Lodge in Ely, to talk about her Ice Age Trail hike, the film and her upcoming adventure in this interview.
