Warren Miller - 60 years of ski films....

You always know when ski season is approaching.....the release of the new Warren Miller film. This year he is celebrating his 60th year!! If you've never attended a Warren Miller film, this is the year to start.....some of the most amazing footage of skiing and boarding....extreme locations......it will completely pump you up for ski season. My favorite was seeing the film in 2006 at The Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek...it was in November and the entire place was just electric with the excitement for the upcoming season. This year I will be going with some family and friends to see the new film, Dynasty, in NYC. Check out the link and look for a showing near you.... while there, check out the trailer for the film!! Not to be missed!! http://www.skinet.com/warrenmiller/
