Yesterday we unleashed our first colossal update on what went down this past weekend in Montreal, Quebec, Canada at the biggest and best ski film festival in the world, the Nike 6.0 International Freeski Film Festival. The first update focused on the movies and awards, so in an effort to split things up for you, here now is a look at why the Festival is affectionately and fittingly known as 'The Biggest Ski Party of the Year', the parties, along with a look at the true essence of IF3.

As anyone over the age of 18 who's been to IF3 in the past knows, the parties are as much a part of the Festival as the movies, and IF3 co-founders Felix Rioux and JF DuRocher continuously step it up year after year when it comes to the live acts that perform at them, which has allowed music to become a bigger and bigger part of IF3 since its humble beginnings five years ago.

Following the conclusion of The North Face Outdoor Screening on Thursday, the first of three musically diverse shindigs went down with the Nike 6.0 IF3 VIP Party in the swanky Opus Hotel.

Head over to Newschoolers to see just how rowdy things got at IF3.

Do it, we dare you.
