17-NOV-18 Ski Season

[DiveMilw]

Tonight I'm volunteering for the beginning of Warren Miller night at The Bushnell.  They are screening his 2018 film twice tonight but I can only stay for one shift.  Last year I did one and a half shifts.  By working the early shift you miss some of the fun, drunk drama that happens later in the night.  Warren Miller is a skier/filmmaker (I think that is right) who is into the more wild aspects of skiing.  The films are visually fascinating and it is incredible what some of these skiers can accomplish.  These are not just film screenings, they are events.  Food and merchandise vendors are onsite as well as ski resorts.  It is a very fun evening.  (I looked up some stuff and I guess Mr. Miller passed away.)

Here's info about the film from the website:
Loving the pure joy of winter is something we have in common with the late, great Warren Miller—who helped create and capture the magic of skiing. This year, "Face of Winter," the 69th installment from Warren Miller Entertainment presented by Volkswagen, will bring new and veteran athletes alike together to pay tribute to the man who started it all.
Watch as the world's best skiers and riders cover ground in some of the most legendary destinations to honor a face that launched a thousand quips and got us all started on this long, crazy ride. Visit some of Warren's favorite locations from Switzerland to Chamonix, British Columbia to Alaska, Chile, Iceland, New Zealand and more. 
Come along to far off regions, meet the locals, carve faces of remote mountain ranges, and celebrate the thrills of a life lived in high places. 
Join in the tribute and continue the legacy. We are all the "Face of Winter."
The Warren Miller Film Tour kicks off on October 12, 2018. Stay tuned for show dates near you.
