LOL. For me it was just a phase. I’m no longer a teenager and realize there is more than one way to enjoy the snow. Some of my best days on the mountain were with some of my buddies who were skiers. IIRC, that was even touched on during one of Miller’s films. He mentioned we're all just riding on the snow, essentially doing the same thing. Whether it’s on one plank or two. Sorry to hear you haven’t grown out of that phase yet.

We used to start every winter with a Warren Miller film, and to be honest his movies are probably what made me want to really learn how to ski in the backcountry, away from the lifts, and take a few risks. He was absolutely an icon, not just for the movies that he made, but for his overall philosophy of life. RIP Warren.

"The Steep & the Deep", what a great movie!

I used to love going to his movies to get stoked for upcoming ski season. Always liked his narration and I loved his quirky sense of humour.

Earlier in the thread someone mentioned The Blizzard of Ahs. That was a Greg Stump film, but Warren Miller created the genre. Thanks for that!

RIP Warren, it is just amazing how a film maker can capture, share, and get people to appreciate the nuanced love that we feel for our skiing, riding sports. Not everyone gets it .... but anyone that has ever seen a WM film is likely to click in and try it.

A great story teller.

He was the father. I wasn't a huge fan of the recent stuff, but I honor his memory by watching some of the greats that learned from and came after him. While not WM films, JP Auclair's (RIP) street scene from All.I.Can is one of my favorites, as well as the whole Valhalla movie from Sweetgrass Productions. My daughter and I watch it 3 or 4 times every fall after the boat is put away to get psych'd for the upcoming winter. When it rips into "Dear Mr. Fantasy" at the opening of the movie you can feel the powder down your shirt.

Lol, I know right. It’s something that I don’t talk about much. I’ve been fourtunate to ski with a lot of greats in the day. This one was special because how she was introduced to me and the “high expectations “ they had. Hahaha. Great fun.

awesome man. just awesome!

haha how do you not lead with this post!!! Sick!!!

My uncles and I would see the Warren Miller movies at the Bushnell Theater in CT every year. Fond memories. Such a great narrative and voice that Warren had. He will be missed but his legacy will certain live on!

Years ago while working at a western mountain restort a lady approaches me with a small girl approx. 4-5 yo. She says to me "I'd like you to take good care of her". "Teach her how to ski and to ski well". "We have high expectations for her". "This is Danielle, I'm her grandmother and her grandfather is Warren Miller".

We had a great day.

Although I was never a huge fan of WM films because they were primarily skiers and I was a teenager in my “can’t stand skiers b/c I’m a snowboarder” phase, I could still easily appreciate what Warren did for snow sports in general. I’m sure I could sit down and watch them now and thoroughly enjoy them. IIRC, he did allow an occasional sideways snow rider onto his films! A true legend. RIP.

Sad day. Cheers, Warren!

And remember kids, if you don't do it this year, you will be one year older when you do.

He was great at what he did...going back in time some, Warren Miller narrating in person one of his movies at the State Theater in Kalamazoo Michigan on stage was one of the best...will be truly missed. Passing his enthusiasm to the next generation lives on through Warren films and greatly appreciated by any snow sport enthusiast. Deepest condolences to Warrens family...loved by all
