Warren Miller, Ski Bum Turned Filmmaker, Dies at 93
Warren Miller inspired a lot of skiers. Every time I went to one of the movies while I was growing up, I learned to have a better time on the slopes. In my mind, the thing that made the movies so compelling wasn't pushing the edges of skiing in a badass way, it was pushing the edges of skiing in a fun/silly way.<p>For example: <a href="https://youtu.be/zD5RhNBmc_U" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/zD5RhNBmc_U</a><p>My brother and I used to have spinning competitions down hills. We also used to do slope breakdancing, which is way less cool than it sounds. Anyways, I'm grateful to Warren Miller for inspiring me to be silly on the slopes. I had a better time because of the films that he made.
