Went to see the new WM movie "IMPACT" last night in Santa Clara.

As part of the yearly routine of getting stoked for skiing WM movies are as important to me as a pre-season ski wax.

This years flick is not the best Ive seen, but its pretty damned impressive. A bit too much of the Alaska-heli-55deg stuff for my taste. I'm impressed by it, but I can't identify with it. When it dominates the movie I get bored fast. Some fantastic powder footage from the rockies this year though. Steamboat Champagne!

I havent been to a warren miller film in probably 3-4 years. They just dont appeal to me. TGR, Matchstick, and poorboys have had some amazing films out in the past few years so I generally just stick to those.

 

[Damn True]

Actually, the matchstick stuff is a lot like the parts of the WM flick I didn't like.

I can only watch so much of Nobis and Micha Black skiing the impossible.

These three are interesting though
Jenn Berg
Ingrid Backstrom
Charlotte Moats

All rippers all hot!

I'm a big fan of Matchstick's movies. I was very impressed with their new one, called Yearbook.

I'm a fan of Warren Miller's just because they are such an adventure. Its like porn with a better plot.

 

[slowSSer]

anyone else read the article in last month's outdoors mag on him? such a cool guy. just plain refuses to grow up and get a real job.

 

[neversummersnow]

yeah, probably changed my life more than any other guy I don't personally know...

yea, it's pretty good ski porn. I saw Impact last week in walnut creek, gooood, but i'll agree with the too much heli-skiing. crazy bastards.

Warren Miller did an MTB film some years ago....I don't remember the name, but it was with his typical photography.

I watched yearbook lastnight SOOOOOOOO f' in cool. I really like MSP movies.
Mc Conkey: "I was like, 'oh, cat track, HUGE air' got buck a bit sideways and it was like, 'ooh, I'm mcgoverning'."

LOL^^^ funniest thing I've ever heard in a sports movie!

Dude, get your ski movies straight! That McConkey quote first of all goes like this: "Oh cool, I got some nice slough coming down around me, this'll make a sweet shot. Okay, air the cliff, skier's left... HUGE KICKER! I'm McGoverning!"

That quote is also from Focused, not Yearbook. Sheesh. Freakin' n00b.

someone thinks highly of themself. meh, it works.

 

[punkassean]

I have only seen the preview for focused on NWDIV...WOW those dudes are nutty!

The last cool ski flick I bought was clay pigeons

 

[Toshi]

the seattle showing was fun. did glenn plake show up in santa clara as well?

 

[towelie]

I read it. Awesome! What a life- I want to BE Warren Miller. He even lives in the obscure corner of my home state I aim to live someday!

I wish I had the creativity and the guts to follow in his footsteps (except for the multiple divorces and estranged son).

I haven't been to one of his movies since "fifty". They are showing it in San Luis Obispo in two weeks for $18. I was thinking about trying to make it up there.
