Survive the summer with SKI MOVIE TRAILERS!
Warren Miller Entertainment may no longer have the actual pioneer of ski movies — Warren Miller — on hand, but their films continue to wow the eyeballs. Here’s their latest, “Flow State.”
Survive the summer with SKI MOVIE TRAILERS!
This fall, the always impressive Level 1 Productions makes it “Sunny.”
“They say the lack of sunlight affects our mood- that the natural balance of the human mind state quickly shifts with presence of the giant solar fireball in the sky. But this isn’t about winter blues or summer depression. Sunny is a mental disposition, and not just one reserved for beaches and fun parks. Level 1 injected a positive mood into the ski season – giving a dose of light therapy to dark northern landscapes of Scandinavia, Alaska, Japan and British Columbia. So sit back and relax, put your shades on and soak up the rays- the future looks bright.”
Featuring:
Parker White, Chris Logan, Mike Hornbeck, Tom Wallisch, Wiley Miller, Eric Pollard, Will Wesson, Torin Yater-Wallace, Tim McChesney, Ahmet Dadali, Alex Bellemare, Niklas Eriksson, Adam Delorme, Josh Bibby, LJ Strenio, Tanner Rainville, Logan Imlach, Spencer Milbocker, Sig Tveit, Lucas Stål-Madison

The in-house team at Quiksilver emerges on the ski movie scene this fall with a premiere in France of “Few Words,” a showcase for X-Games gold medalist Candide Thovex. With breathtaking imagery that calls to mind the high-def marvels of last winter’s “The Art of Flight,” this is one movie that seems like an absolute must-see!
If you only watch one of these, pick this one. It’s stunning.
Sarah Burke: One Light Will Not Go Out
SHE WAS ALWAYS the person who brought everyone else together — the magnet, friends called her — so they traveled from across the world to see Sarah Burke one final time. High school classmates came from the East Coast, and family members flew in from Canada. Professional athletes traveled from Norway, Sweden and Japan. They arrived en masse at a hospital in Park City, Utah, spilling from Burke’s room into the general waiting area and the hallways until, finally, doctors found a conference room big enough to accommodate them.
For nine terrible days in January, they sat there, waited and prayed. They rehashed questions that made no sense.
How could they remain hopeful when the most optimistic among them was lying unresponsive in the other room?
How had skiing’s most daring athlete suffered a brain hemorrhage while practicing an utterly routine trick?
Why now, just months after she had engineered her sport’s inclusion in the 2014 Winter Olympics and had become, at long last, a gold medal favorite?
