Well, now that it's ski season (I went snowboarding for the first time this season, two days ago), it's time to pull out the Warren Miller movies. Who's a fan!? I also decided to take a look at some more of his films and add them to my Netflix. In the process, I decided to update myself on Warren Miller. He hasn't been a part of any of "his" films since 2004! Bummer! Time Warner bought the company from Warren's son and Warren has pretty much retired. Such a bummer! I can't believe I didn't know that. Guess I need to pay better attention.
I remember when I was growing up, it was always a big deal to get together as a family and go to the premier of Warren's new film each year. They were such big events and so much fun. The films just aren't the same without him narrating. It's going to be a major loss to the ski/snowboard culture when we lose Warren (who's in his 80's now). At least we have his films! So, get to your local video store (or online rental store) and rent a Warren Miller movie. Talk about pure winter sports entertainment! :-)
