I got nothing but...

I get chills down my back watching his videos. he's done so much for the community and the sport...

And...Im happy to say that ive gotten to live that sort of life the past year. I am taking a break from it but...I will be back to Vail.

Any other Warren Miller fans?

Went to my first Warren Miller screening at the Paramount Theatre here in Denver in 1988 and I try to make it as many years as possible. Plus, you get all kinds of cool free stuff. Haven't been for the last couple of years though. I heard he's stepping out of the role of narrator in the films, which will be weird.

His voice is extreme skiing. Its too bad.

His film premiers are a blast. usually in big theaters, or orpheums ... huge party...

Warren Miller's great, I try to get to the screening here in Calgary every year but haven't been able to the last 2 years. The Warren Miller franchise still puts out decent ski porn every year and is certainly the pioneer of the genre, but for the last 8-10 years there's better ski porn out there that I'd rather watch.

Still big fan of Warren though, his movies play a prominent role in the winters of my youth.

Sure, there are others out there. Possibly some more exciting. in my opinion though... Noone captures it better than warren miller. Noone captures the spirit of winter loving and ski porn. Others capture the gimmicks, the fads, but warren miller captures a spirit that many people forget about.

Well, your opinion's just plain wrong, man.

Not a huge fan, but I usually stop and watch his films when I come across them on TV. I like surfing movies even better though.
