NEW Warren Miller Documentary SKI BUM: The Warren Miller Story

Can’t wait to not watch this

Unpopular opinion for this site but Warren sounds like an awesome character tons of stories. Documentary could be a good watch. Still a shame the company that bares his name is so meh.

Pro tip to new people. we love the man: Warren Willer. But the company that bears his name (Warren Miller Entertainment) doesn't give a shit about skiing or Warren himself (RIP). We ignore anything WME related at this point. For a lot of us it's just a lifetime boycott from here on out. Look up the "Level 1 v. WME" drama. Only people that like WME movies are uninformed gapers.

I encourage everyone to watch this.

First off- WME is a shitty company, they fucked over independent ski media and fucked over Warren Miller himself. They are trash. However, dont let WME tarnish who Warren Miller was and what he did for skiing.

That being said, Warren Miller literally invented ski movies and quite possibly "New School" skiing as it exists today. The man literally built this world that PBP, Matchstick, STEPT, NewSchoolers, TGR etc exist in. Way back in the day before the internet the annual Warren Miller film was the only ski movie out to get stoked on for the ski season. Any of the older guys here can chime in on what it was like back in the late 90's watching in awe as skiers jumped over garbage trucks in Aspen or watching Glenn Plake throw himself off cliffs on skinny straight skis etc.

The dude has been making movies and building ski culture since the 1950s. If it was not for Warren Miller there is a good chance none of your Dad's would have gotten into skiing and taught you guys how to ski. He is a legend and the foundation of our sport. Even his funny goofball persona influenced the laidback anything goes culture of today. I know it sounds like much but Warren Miller's contribution to skiing cannot be understated and I think its good for younger skiers to have the context on how our sport was created.

This isn't a WME movie though is it? Also fuck wme. The way they fucked that mad iver and then used his death to get people to the movies. They make me sick.

It looks like Gravitas Ventures made it. Im surprised WME didnt try to sue them as well.

My fist clenched at the though. Fuck WME fuck WME fuck WME


That whole situation was so fucked. Is this real life? Kinda fucked.

Much sadness and anger. Nothing but live for Warren though. What a guy. RIP


Oh yeah FUCK WME

/ran . Sorry

If anyone else makes a movie with Warren Miller in it we basically have to watch just to stick it to WME IMO

Rant warranted. What WME did was unforgivable and the new guys here need to know what happened and the implications behind it. I think everyone who was around when that shit went down remembers the sheer rage and sense of betrayal when we first read the story. The fact they went after Level 1 for simply having Warren Miller's voice talking about his love for skiing is insane. Especially since its really only Matchstick and WME making big budget annual ski movies moving forward.

This is not a WME film, for those upset below. It is a documentary about Warren Miller.

Going to check this out. I went to many of his films to get the hype going for the season and yes fuck WME.

Been said but WM himself is a legend. WME is a disgrace to the ski industry

is WME making this documentary? If not how long till they sue?

It would be so legendary if the doc included his voiceover with Level 1 and how WME fucked them over and ousted Warren from his own company.

Agreed. It'd be playing with fire though. Fuck that piece of shit company and their shitty jerry ass ski premiers these days. Always dope throwing back to the OG ones whenit was actually Warren. Dude was spreading the stoke. What a guy.

Oh man, between Warren Miller, Shane McConkey, Glenn Plake and Seth Morrison it was like snorting a fat line of pure stoke every fall. Literally every day after a premier I would check my local mountain to see if it has even dusted yet. Lol I remember when Glenn Plake learned rails like 2 weeks before doing a Warren Miller shoot and was like "Fuck it, im throwing down anyway..."

Get's you super hyped. People need to be careful watching those in the summer though. Youll get so stoked youll be skiing down the stairs in your parents house, getting towed through town by your friends car, etc.

Not that any of those things are bad, just that maybe they should have a warning label. Talk to your doctor about your health and how stoke will affect you. Watch out for your friends if you see a spike in stoke, don't try and stop them, just make sure to press record.

That seems like the popular opinion for this site...

Just discovered this is on discovery+ (Wife made me cave on that one). I know what I’m watching this weekend

Ya. Screw WME, but Warren Miller was awesome. Nobody did more for skiing stoke, or will ever, than that guy. Just decades and decades of good vibes. He always embraced the sports many progressions, false starts, experiments (remember Klaus Obermeyer snow kiting and powder kayaking???), and celebrations. My family loved their ski vacations when I was a kid, and we'd spend hours in the ski shop (in Florida) getting ready every year. I wouldn't miss a chance to go because they always had a Warren Miller movie on in there. I'd watch and wish I lived in a ski town while the staff pitched my mom and grandma on this year's must-have fashions.

"If you don't try it this year, you'll be one year older when you do."--Immortal words. Miller knew what he was doing. He knew nobody could watch one of those films and not feel addicted to snow.

one of our friends had a segment in a wme movie a couple years ago so a group of like 20 of us went to the premier and some cross country ski segment with some hard asf dubstep came on and half the theater just burst out laughing. only time ive seen one of their movies
