I can't believe these guys do this stuff and get paid for it. When I hear Warren Miller's voice in a film, I immediately know the topic, and always know it will be good. Because nothing is listed regarding what this film is about, I'll tell you. Some of the best skiers (and snowboarders) in the world are caught on film doing what they love, riding fresh powder down the side of a mountain. Their lifts? Helicopters and airplanes. This film will grab you and not let go, just like Warren's other films.

A Skier's Dream

Warning: Spoilers
This movie on is a very specific topic - downhill skiing. The movie is about skiers and is for skiers. If you haven't skied you still might enjoy this film, but if you are a skier you should love it.
Just how some of the shots were obtained is a mystery to me. Also the extent skiers go to is something I find it hard to believe. Some of the scenes are hard to believe. All this is captured beautifully and put together in an entertaining and even humorous way.
Warren Miller is a genius in presenting this material. From Vermont to Mt. Fuji you will laugh, be amazed, and finally agree with him - that life is what you make of it.
I particularly liked the end about some kids in India - about which I cannot tell - since it would be a spoiler! A marvelous commentary both on the joy of the sport and the idea that fun is what you can make in life - if you just try.
