Ski.Ballet1990's Warren Miller movies


I like how you added the 1990’s part so you wouldn’t get publicly executed like I did with the downvotes

Haha nah - I have a fondness for that era of WM movies because they were my first exposure to ski movies. Every year my dad would buy the new movie and we would watch it over and over until the season started.

Here's the thing - Warren Miller Entertainment basically tried to destroy Level 1 after Warren Miller appeared in Level 1's movie "Refresh". It was a big ordeal that ranged from mass mail complaints to Tom Wallisch picketing outside a WME premiere. It's still a sore subject, and WME is not a popular name.

Refresh

And a nostalgic favourite would be Focused because Seth, CR, Pollard and co got me back into skiing when I was on the path to be a snowboarder.

I really like the old skifilm.com movies from the Håtveits! "Mind the gap" is my all time fav since it was the 2nd skimovie I saw after getting into skiing, and was the movie Dre's brother skied down that escalator in London:
https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/877832/Guys-Skis-Down-Tube-Escalator

Refresh is probably the best one in my opinion. I really liked that Warren Miller him self narrated it, such an awesome vibe of fun and history with the old man's take on modern skiing! It's simply one of the best modern skimovies.

Also Candide's "Rastafaride 6"

I know this is more of a documentary, but "McConkey" was one of the better movies I've watched in a long time. (and it is on Netflix so that's a plus)

Yeah it is, I went to it one time I when I took the train into Boston and it’s even more insane when you’re looking down on the drop

Warren Miller narrating refresh was pretty much him taking a shot at his own company

Agree with everyone above about Refresh. Favorite segment was Tom Wallisch with the mix of urban, park, and big air. https://vimeo.com/level1/tom-wallisch-refresh

Thats what Im saying and also Partly cloudy, cool thing is is that you can see the old magnus Graner before he went to the new wave stuff in Partly Cloudy and I think in Less too. These are both by Level 1

Best skiing when it comes to pow/pillows/big lines.

wont be my favorite movie ever due to the lack of commentary and the movie feel.

but skiing was all time. There was some fucked up shit in there haha
