This dazzling Ride begins with a bang: A terrific piece about Whistler's avalanche hunters, i.e., a team of explosives experts who begin their days blowing away potentially lethal slides before skiers hits steep slopes. Typical of Miller's films, Ride globetrots through some of the most exciting and exotic places on Earth to capture Hollywood-caliber (and often better) footage of extreme snow-sporting. Among these hot spots, so to speak, are New Zealand (where a high mountain considered holy by the Maori offers some interesting downhill challenges), the North Cascades (particularly a couple of breathtaking sites accessible only by helicopter), France (where a resort harvests ski-able snow from ice-fishing), and Breckenridge, Colorado (where snowboarders bounce along the famous Breckenridge Bumps). A highlight is a ski trip in Russia, where three Americans catch a bus through a war zone to reach, as one fellow puts it, "the top of Europe." --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars Another WOW from Warren, August 9, 2003

Unbelievable, awesome, spectacular, and incredible are just some of the words that come close to describing the breathtaking footage in this new "classic" form Warren Miller. Once again he makes you want to pack up and head for the nearest snow covered slopes, wherever in the world that might be. The scenery and cinematography is absolutely killer as is the selection of music that takes you on another dream trip through the best snowfields on earth. This film is an absolute "must own".

4.0 out of 5 stars See Craig Kelly, January 24, 2005

This review is from: Warren Miller's Ride (DVD)

Gorgeous photography, varied and exotic locations from Whistler to New Zealand to Russia. Fabulous snowboard and ski footage, as always. Craig Kelly - ironically and prophetically talks about his love for riding in BC and what it's like to have sliders (avalanches) chase him down.

There's always a jot of humor in Warren's films, and we like it and expect it even if it's corny. Amusing to see the two brothers in the flatlands who construct a monster ski jump in their back yard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Action packed and cool, February 12, 2001

By

This review is from: Warren Miller's Ride [VHS] (VHS Tape)

It keeps getting better each year. Warren Miller, his son Kurt, and all their "friends" who freeride down a mountain join them in awsome locations all around the world for awsome skiing footy. Bob Ranker, Justin Patinode, Mike Douglas, and all the other talented freeriders lend their talents to the completely epic movie which shows what was never possible on the side of a mountian...till now. after watching this you'll pick up yer skis and say "where's the powder at"
