Warren Miller's newest installment is as classic as the legend's smooth narration. "Higher Ground" shows off some of the premier extreme winter sports across the globe. A lot of the coverage is of skiing and snowboarding but with some other crazy things thrown in to break up the 90 minutes.
I've seen Miller's previous films on TV or HBO but this year I went to a theater showing in downtown Denver. Maybe event is a better way to describe the pumped up atmosphere as powder-heads from around the area gathered to watch the show and enter the raffle. During the show the music absolutely pounded and people whooped and whistled especially during big crashes and wipe-outs.
While I didn't win the heli-ski trip to Portio, Chile I did get a free lift ticket to Copper Mountain and had a great time. If you get a chance to catch the Warren Miller tour, go for it!

I left out a pretty big detail about this film. It was filmed completely in HD. Spielberg and Lucas haven't even pulled this one off yet.
