IS IT WINTER YET? New Warren Miller for '05/'06-
Being a fairly new skier (5 years) and an even newer Warren Miller fan, I have yet to feel that sense of tradition in awaiting the new yearly offering from the famed veteran writer/director/producer/photographer of now 56 feature length documentaries.
That does not stop me from being overwhelmingly excited about this year's release, entitled "Higher Ground." The film will include all of the Warren Miller staples: insane free skiing, remote locations, hard wrecks, dry humor and sarcasm as well as more Glenn Plake (now turned near ambassador of the sport) and some footage of an FDNY ski event on Hunter Mountain, NY. Other locations featured this year read once again like a list of my dream ski locations- Aspen, Heavenly, Vail, Copper Mountain, Points North, Courcheval and Engelberg, to name just a few.
Check for updates about showtimes and locations on the WM website here. You can be sure a review will be on the way.

Warren Miller reminds me of ski team parties in high school. I didn't know he was still doing it.

I love the guy and his work. He also writes a column for the monthly "SKI Magazine." Last page column, and lists his occupation as "professional ski bum."
