50% Awed 50% Bored
The name Warren Miller is a household name for ski enthusiasts. He's built a great reputation for his documentaries of filiming skiers. This DVD collection shows skiing places all over the world and great footages of a few going down extreme slopes. What bored me most of the time is how monotonous the footages were no matter what country they take you, the shots are always at close-up range. It doesn't have that feel that you're watching that person ski down that Italian Alps or down that Scottish glens or even down our local slopes in Squaw Valley - all footages in different countries were filmed at close-up range so after a while it will get monotonous. It does get boring after 1 hour and then there's two more DVD's to go. This DVD collection is great for parties where you put it on a big screen in mute with loud music blasting from your home stereo and people having loud conversations and just happening to see footages of skiers while talking. Good collection to keep though.

The Epitome of Ski Movies
The "Riders" movies are some of the best of the Warren Miller movies. I have always loved Snowriders 2 not only for it's breathtaking video footage, but also for it's great soundtrack. It has some great bands on it such as Reel Big Fish, The Offspring, and Counting Crows. Snowriders 2 is the film that ends with the song, "A Long December," by Counting Crows which is a perfect way to end a ski movie if you ask me.

It's a great price for three great movies.

After watching one movie, my wife and I are now planning on moving to a ski town. I love skiing and have always wanted to do that and now I am. "If you don't do it this year, you'll be one year older when you do."
