Warren Miller was great in his 60th film...

The Warren Miller Showing was an enjoyable event. Thanks to our sponsers and to all who came out to work and view Warren's 60th film. It was fun to be a part of it and to visit with all the folks in our ski community. It really was a nice demonstration of how our skiing lifestyle is shared by so many, and an illustration of our ability to share in all the aspects of our sport. WELL DONE ALL and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
