Warren Miller's Storm

Product Description STORM transports viewers from Steamboat?s world-famous champagne powder to the striking, colossal peaks of Alaska and from the legendary ski town of Aspen to the glorious Austrian Alps. Join the Antarctic expedition across turbulent seas to the Isle of South Georgia, a wind-whipped crag of ice and snow in the South Atlantic. Skill and passion abound as skiing legends and up-and-coming stars chase the storm, risking their lives in a powerful once-in-a-lifetime journey. The amazing soundtrack includes Dave Matthews Band, Ani DiFranco, Nickel Creek and other hugely and other hugely popular artists. Amazon.com Warren Miller's Storm is another dazzling travelogue of extreme snow-sports fanatics doing their thing in the most amazing places on Earth. Join Storm's crew on a helicopter skiing trip to beautiful Blue River, British Columbia, and later get inside the psychology of Aspen, Colorado, residents who live for snow and spend every day in the mountains. Take a retrospective detour to Sun Valley, where property was once cheap, Hemingway and Gary Cooper vacationed together, and Miller--now almost 80--began shooting his first 8mm ski movies in 1947. Cross the desert in Lake Tahoe to ascend white-topped hills ripe for snowboarding, and hang out with extreme bikers for whom cities, parks, campuses, and mountains are all part of the same stunt-worthy surface. The film's grandest segment finds skier-climbers replicating Ernest Shackleton's ill-fated trip to Antarctica's South Georgia Island, one of the most haunting and astonishing spots on the planet. --Tom Keogh About the Actor Warren Miller, the greatest innovator and crowd-pleaser in mountain films, has been thrilling audiences for more than half a century.
