A tradition that every November we preview the coming ski season with the new Warren Miller film. I'm afraid this one disappoints. Some great footage, and a worldwide coverage, but there isn't much different from last year's film, or the one before. Creeping commercial content and an over hyped commentary. Too serious - where's the comic content that his films used to display to break up the epic actin shots?

I've been a huge fan of Warren Miller movies for years, but this one was really disappointing. Warren Miller's color commentary is now gone, except for a few archived sound bites from the past. The music was slow and mellow, not energetic and fast like in many previous Warren Miller films. Try Cold Fusion, Journey, or Storm instead - each of those are excellent. This one was a waste of time.

My husband goes through withdrawal when the ski season ends each spring. Warren Miller ski videos, along with non-snow activities like biking and hiking, keep him relatively happy until the snow flies again. "Off the Grid" is a great addition to his collection. He has enjoyed watching it several times already.

Warren did not do much of the talking in this one but it's still worth watching. It's not as good as Cold Fusion but I think none of them can hold a match to Cold Fusion.

Off the Grid, like the other Warren Miller movies, is a great movie for any ski fanatic.

The Warren Miller docs are always above and beyond amazing and this one is no exception. These movies will rival anything you will rent or see on the big screen.

Warren Miller always delivers good skiing on beautiful terrain. That said, I was disappointed with the glorification of Jeremy Bloom and tired park tricks. It is entertaining, but it only inspires me to do a run or 2 off the chairlift before hitting the bar (most ski films make me want to slap the skins on my teles and hit the biggest peak I can find-now). Good film, buy it if its on sale.

I wanted this mainly for the bump section at Mary Jane. Definitely continue to enjoy it and the entire video.

IF YOU LOVE SKIING, YOU MUST HAVE THIS AND WATCH EVERY WEEK.
EXCELLENT VIDEO.
GOOD JOB, WARREN MILLER PRODUCTION.
I LOVE IT.

Any movie with Jenn Berg in it is worth watching. If we'd heard more of Warren, I would have rated it higher.
