warren miller has totally lost touch. matchstick, tgr, pbp premiers are so much better and get you  so much  more stoked for the season. the best wm films over the past 10 years (basically the amount of time freeskiing has grown) were fifty ('99), cold fusion ('01), and storm ('02). he has has some MAJOR duds since.

meh so did i make a mistake paying 20 bucks to go to the premier?  at least i get a free ski lift ticket, which will save me at least 15-20 bucks.

Nah i am going to be out of town when it comes to my town Boise. I really don't have any urge to see it anyways i mean Warren Miller just isn't my thing. Their movies just aren't that amazing anymore.

no dude...if u like warren miller then you didnt waste ne money! i went a few years ago and liked it! not the same as msp or  nething...but if you know that going into it then its cool....plus it is fun to people watch! all the old guys who think they are the best skiers in the world. and when the park stuff comes on...the audience is like in shock...its fun times if you go with the right attitude.

Pretty much ever since warren miller entertainment was handed to his son (year after Journey came out) did his movies sort of go downhill. PLus, the riders they have are the same every year. Like CHris Davenport, Jenn Berg, and sometimes Plake who I like

I went to a premier in AK. Ehh is all I have to say. The movie was obviosuly made for the average skier, not park skiers like us. They had a couple cool segs like the Japan one, but so many shots out of other movies. Basically over half the park shots are in other movies.

just went to berkeley- musta been the only NSer (or park rider for that matter) in the entire place.   pretty lame.  film was 50% shit 50% decent.  the best scene was the snowboard playground seg in the first half then they finally put in decent park riding like in the last 15 minutes but i did snag a pass to heavenly and my buddies coped a bunch of other ones so im pumpd on that
