Always enjoyed Warren Miller’s films. Funny, exciting, pure fun.

Here is another “giant” in the ski business who, at 103 is still with us!

He was the best, thanks for sharing
I love his skiing films. New young daredevil faces, extraordinary scenery and slopes from around the world. He gave so much to us all but especially those talented and lucky enough to be part of his films. I even enjoy *most* of the music in them. What a life!
“...audio high five from the Buddha himself.”
Plus, he probably could ski better than me too.
I was 28 when I learned to ski.
A buddy was taking me to a local ski hill, so the night before going, I rented a Warren Miller video on How To ski.
Handling the basics.
My buddy couldn’t believe that after 3 times down the bunny hill, we moved to the green runs.
After about 4-5 runs down the greens, he left me to continue on my own, so he could have some fun himself on more challenging runs.
We caught up a few hours later.
I was pushing myself on the blue runs.
I took him over to a green run, where they had built a bump about 18”, and I got a good head of steam up and did a tiny jump.
That Warren Miller vid, showed me the basic mechanics needed, without the distractions of the nerves being on the hill.
It was a fun, but instructional video.
I’ve always liked the actual Warren Miller vids ever since.
