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

Customer Reviews

Entertainment, not instruction
I'm baffled that anyone thinks this should provide any instructional value. It's pure ski entertainment and one of Warren's best. This is my favorite of all of Warren Miller's most recent films, including his latest, Impact. Warren's films stand apart from other ski films because of the narration by skiing's wise sage Warren Miller. At once humorous and soulful, Warren Miller captures the essence of the ski bum culture in his films. If you can only buy one Warren Miller ski film, buy this one, better yet, buy them all.

Eye Candy All Around! A+
As a moderate skiier, and a filmmaker myself, this hits it home for me. Warren Miller films are always shown locally, and there's hardly anything imaginable that could make me miss his new movie every year.
Not being a Heavy Metal fan, historically the music tends to be distracting, alas this (past) year's edition "Storm" had just the right amount of pizazz and flare to make it my favorite yet. There are moments nearly every year that I take home with me, but Storm was filled with the most amazing skiing, some of the most unique locations, and might add the most exhilarating editing I've seen in quite a while! Kudos to you folks!
If you can appreciate the splendor of mountain island skiing that harldy anyone on earth has even seen, let alone skiied, then this DVD will certainly expediate your plans for skiing this coming season. You might not go to South Georgia Island, but there's plenty of skiing nearby...just roadtrip and split a cabin :)

The Most Amazing Snow Vid I Have Ever Seen!!!!!!!!!
I first saw this movie on a plane flight from sydney to Auckland. I was waiting for the schedualed hollywood krap movie to come on when it was announced that due to technical difficulties the planned movie would not be shown today and that instead they would be showing Warren Miller's Storm. i looked through the booklet and couldnt find a review on it and so i was sure it was goin to be crap and pulled out a snowboarding mag from my bag and began to read. After about 5 mins I looked up to see a skier jumping off a 25ft cliff into 2ft of powder, my jaw dropped and i was rivetted for the rest of the flight. It was a truly amazing video with great footage from all across the world, pleasing both skiers and boarders. buy it now!!!!!!!!!!
