Nothing short of the apex of ski film making from Warren Miller. Picking the best Warren Miller movie, or the best Greg Stump film, or picking the best from any of the great ski film companies, is kind of like choosing a puppy. You want them all. This film happened to be the one that really captured the movement.

Exotic mountains serve as a backdrop to thrill seekers traveling across four continents. Miller captures cliff jumpers, heli skiers and deep powder riders. He also decides to step in front of the camera and carve some turns with one of the greatest tennis players of all time, Martina Navratilova. As incredible as she is to watch short hopping angle volley winners and slicing out lefty kickers to the ad court, Navratilova is equally as impressive on the slopes. Easy to ascertain that the girl lives in Aspen. But the show stealer for the film is the aerials. The synchronized stuff would stand up in any film made today, and Matt Chojnacki's quad-quad is out of this world.

The year was 1983 and Scot Schmidt changed the game as he launched off Squaw Valley's Palisades and into the minds of next-gen skiers dreaming that they too could do the same, but bigger. Never before had such power and skill been demonstrated on two planks. And as the years go by, and the skis get fatter, Schmidt's exploits in Ski Time only become that much more impressive. Ski Time is Warren Miller's 34th film, the 19th to start with the letter S, and part of six-in-a-row that started with S from 1980's Ski People through 1985's Steep and Deep. S this time around is for Scott Schmidt and Ski Time.

It's Warren Miller's 58th feature film and the first to go indoors. Dubai built a gigantic indoor refrigerator replete with chairlift and "snow". It's a playground in the desert. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Playground also visits Japan and its massive coastal snow mountains. Major riders include Jon Olsson, Sean Petit, Dan Treadway, and Peter Olenick. And in Playground the skiers words are given as much importance as their feats of athletic brilliance. For those asking for more from the minds of their ski film stars, Playground dishes the dirt on a snow man's life.

Deep powder. Huge airs. World-class cinematography. It’s all part of Warren Miller’s Children of Winter, the world’s largest action sports film, which is set to music by Radiohead, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Beck, and others. Shown in crystal-clear high definition, the film tour crisscrosses the nation and nine countries worldwide. Warren Miller’s 2008 Film Tour showcases spectacular footage shot in Japan, Austria, British Columbia, Alaska, and Iceland with jaw-dropping performances by an impressive assembly of world-class athletes, including Jonny Moseley, Daron Rahlves, Marco Sullivan, Seth Wescott, Gerry Lopez, and Wendy Fisher. Timeless Warren Miller athlete Chris Anthony takes on Leadville, Colorado’s legendary skijoring competition. Pep Fujas explores Silverton Mountain, the only backcountry ski resort in the United States. Teenage snowboard pro Ben Watts chases surf legend Gerry Lopez on Mount Bachelor’s frozen waves. Skiing’s top female athletes meet up in Crested Butte for the deepest powder in decades. And Jeff Annetts, Drew Stoecklein, and Derek Foose sail Iceland, skiing mountains that end in the ocean. Stephan Lessard of The Dave Matthews Band, Eric Fawcett of N.E.R.D, Adam Gardner of Guster, and Ed Robertson of The Barenaked Ladies unite to form Yukon Kornelius—a supergroup who perform on and off the snow in Vermont and Colorado. “When it’s cold and snowing, others run inside. But skiers and snowboarders do the opposite, no matter how old we are,” said Max Bervy, director and producer. “We are all the Children of Winter, and if you ski or ride, this movie reaffirms what we all know, that we’re lucky to know the shortest, coldest days of the year.”

Narrated by Skating with the Stars' Jonny Moseley, Warren Miller's Dynasty is the 60th year celebration since Warren Miller film no. 1. All the necessary spots are here, as the world's best skiers tackle Alaska, California, Norway, Colorado, and British Columbia. Of special note in this film, Chris Anthony treks his way through China in search of the birthplace of skiing; and Warren Miller opens up his vintage vault to reveal film treasures of the skiing kind. As always with a Warren Miller film, the photography is breathtaking, the editing precise, and the skiing will hype you off the couch.

First it was a Stevie Wonder song, next it was reinterpreted on the Red Hot Chili Peppers' album Mother's Milk, and now Higher Ground is a Warren Miller top film. All the legendary spots are in line and accounted for. Alaska, Colorado, B.C., and Switzerland make this film a northern hemisphere affair. Shane McConkey's segment is classic Shane, back-flipping off an endless cliff and deploying the shoot, James Bond style. Also look for Jeremy Bloom, the one-time University of Colorado football stud and moguls champ. Perhaps jealousy will ensue as your lady frantically tries to find Mr. Bloom on Facebook. Not to worry, you'll only get more jealous when Higher Ground visits Points North Heli Adventures in Alaska.

An instant classic when it was released in 2001, this Warren Miller film features two world breaking records. Ski jumper Matt Chojnacki lands the first quad-quad (do the math yourself), and B.A.S.E. jumper Dave Balia records the longest flight off the north face of the Eiger. Amazing feats of athletic brilliance, but the best part of Cold Fusion is the screen return of the legend himself, Warren Miller. We even follow the storytelling king to the slopes of Montana. You could make the argument that the formula changed for this film. You could also argue that the Iran segment opened up a lot of other minds in the ski filmmaking industry.

Although technically it wasn't the beginning, it was the beginning. This was Naismith tacking a peach basket on a gym wall, and in a sense creating a brand that didn't just stand the test of time, it endured near constant growth the entire time. The Sun Valley camper in the parking lot resident (after being motivated by watching a John Jay ski film) convinced the people at Bell and Howell to loan him a 16mm camera on credit. Then he used $600 from selling photos to guests and a loan from a local bank (in exchange for the pink slip to his truck) to create "Deep and Light." That led to snagging some money from his friends to finance a 52-city tour in 1950! Yes, that is how the whole thing started folks. The Warren Miller Tour was kicking incredible ass in 1950! This was the same year that Howdy Doody was rocking the black-and-white television, average US Salary was a little over 3k per year, and James Dean got his acting break in a Pepsi commercial. If you're 60-years-old right now, then you probably were still in your papa's nutsack. North Korea invaded South Korea that year and captured Seoul. Stalin was in power. It was the same year that Albert Einstein told the world nuclear weapons would destroy earth. OK, we'll stop there, but you get the picture. It was Deep and Light that started the whole dileo!
