Product Description

As his 52nd annual release, Warren Miller once again brings out the hard-core rider in each of us. His films throw us into an infinite journey of intense snowbound aerobatics, goofy lift moments, and historic segments all through acres of snow, and gliding to a sweet musical score like no other. Cold Fusion offers the best of all worlds. One of Miller's best films, Cold Fusion will spoil even the most extreme rider. Capturing some of his most profound moments from earlier movies, Cold Fusion is as awe-inspiring as his two-year-old classic, Fifty, which also documented some of ski history's most impressive, and most hilarious moments. If Cold Fusion does not entice that yearly craving for snow, the classic sound of Warren's old, yet soothing voice surely will. Ride on, and wear a helmet.

Cold Fusion is simply one of Warren Miller's most staggering documentaries. Released in 2001, this two-hour-plus film pours on (and on) a mix of remarkable action footage, breathtaking terrain, and unexpected exotica. Miller joins world-class athletes on four continents for extreme sporting that, at times, borders on the unimaginable. Join a pair of diehard skiers who hike through Kenya to ride what remains of an ancient glacier. Or gape at the Big Air Expedition in Winter Park, Colorado, where multiple "aerialists" (skiers who gain high altitudes in order to turn, twist, and spin upon descent) provide a cinematic phantasmagoria. (One of the film's two record-breaking events takes place here.) Superb chapters are also set in Verbier, Switzerland and Waddington, U.K., but it's hard to beat the incredible snowboarding feats captured in gorgeous Girdwood, Alaska, or a ski adventure in, of all places, Iran. --Tom Keogh

Awesome
Warren Miller is the man-- his movies just get better and better each year. This is a great film, only maybe to be beaten by the newest release of Storm. I can only wait to see this year's film, Journey. Visit the Warren Miller website (www.warrenmiller.com) to learn more about this year's film and past films-- its worth a visit!

Yeah!
I watch this video on some channel on T.V. one night and knew I had to own it!

I don't even ski (or jump off buildings for that matter)but who doesn't want to watch guys doing amazing "oh my gosh! " EXTREME SPORT activities.

I loved the music too.
And the the way it was shot by Warren Miller.

I would highly recommend this movie to anyone. In fact I've already bought it for some...

Excellent! I'm inspired...
I've never purchased a Warren Miller film before and didn't know what to expect. After watching Cold Fusion, I'm now shopping for my next purchase. This movie features great skiing and snowboarding segments as well as some cool base jumping scenes. And who would have thought you can ski in Kenya? I'm not a big fan of harder music, but thought the soundtrack complemented the movie wonderfully. I had no "ghosting" or other image problems as mentioned in one review (note that the user was talking about a VHS, not the DVD). I didn't give it a full five stars because of a couple slower segments that didn't have much "extreme" stuff in it. It was still interesting, but personally, I bought this for all the big mountain and backcountry shots. I also thought the Nissan sponsorship got a little ridiculous when they zoomed in on the hood ornament. What is this, a commercial? Other than those couple of issues (very minor), I thought this was a great take and would recommend it to any ski or snowboard fanatic.
