66th Ski Film Is Designed To Inspire For The Upcoming Season.

Credit: Warren Miller Entertainment
Warren Miller created the ski movie genre. We remember the days when Warren’s movies included surfer music, sight gags and a narrator (was that Warren himself?) wise-cracking about how skiers would do almost anything to get on the mountain, including forgetting to mow their lawns (think Southern California).
Now, Warren Miller Entertainment produces a knock-out ski documentary/art/thrill film around this time every year; it has become the most predictable harbinger of the upcoming winter season. “Chasing Shadows” is this year’s offering. It will be playing around the country starting in late Sept. The cast features athletes from basically corner of the sport. And the scenes of mountains around the world are stunning.

Hey Mike…Warnie was not the guy to created the travel-ski film lecture biz. John Jay preceded him by almost ten years.
But where is he now?
Exciting stuff, n’est-ce pas”?
Be well, ski fast, live safely.

John Jay was indeed the founder of the modern ski film, starting in 1940 with his first effort. Here is more about this pioneer: http://www.johnjayskifilms.com/john-jay-biography.html We stand corrected. Thanks Doug! And give our best to Ginnie. MDM
