Wow, I haven’t thought of him for years, but in my late teens and early adulthood I was a big fan of his films. What a good, long and adventurous life he had!

What a great guy. I was fortunate enough to make a few runs with his son Kurt at Alpines Meadows. I remember lining up to get tickets to the annual Warren Miller movie every year. What a great way to live-travelling the globe to ski anywhere. RIP Warren Miller.

I've been on skiis (spelling?) once in my life and didn't care much for it.

My boys liked to go when they were in school but neither one of them liked it enough to continue past high school.

But all 3 of us loved Warren Miller movies. We stood in line more than once to see his films.

I have avoided getting on skis of any kind for 69 years but I enjoyed his films. RIP

Back in my undergraduate days, our school would have a screening of his latest film just as ski season was warming up. It used to whip us into a frenzy. RIP, Warren.

Yep, ours too. I'm picturing a coffin flying down a double black bump run, right now.

Great ski films and I can still hear his distinctive voice doing the narration.

"Ski Bum" - is there such thing as a ski bum these days?

Oh sure. Ski resorts and towns need all kinds of seasonal workers.

Yes, but unfortunately it's becoming a "job that Americans don't want to do". Most of the lifties at Utah resorts come from Australia, New Zealand or South America.

Miller also did some sailing films that helped put Hobie Cats on the map. RIP

I didn't know that- which led me to Google this. I love the astronaut blip and # 11, "No one is ever too old to do something really dumb". What a guy, who squeezed every bit out of life for 93 years.

Going to the annual Miller ski movie in the 70s and 80s brings back great memories. They seemed to hit Salt Lake City just prior to the Labor Day ski sales at Wolfe's Sporting Goods stores. Highland High School was usually the only place in the valley for the one night only viewing. My first ever driving date was a Warren Miller movie.
