Spectacular shots of snowcapped peaks and extreme skiers gracefully defying gravity, not to mention common sense, are the highlights of this entertaining video from the venerable guru of skiing movies, Warren Miller. Sparing no expense, Miller's film crews span the globe, shooting snowboarders careening down absurdly steep Alaskan peaks, ski guides helicoptering to remote slopes in British Columbia, and hardy (and uninhibited) Scotsmen who boldly catch some "big air" in kilts. This video is fraught with offbeat humor, including shots of a snowshoe race that could have been filmed by Mack Sennett, and footage of "face jumping," the oddball diversion of hurling oneself off Alpine glaciers and parachuting to earth. Miller's gentle narration, replete with trademark corny remarks reminiscent of old movie newsreels, mixes with a musical soundtrack of contemporary rock that is often uncannily synched with the astounding footage of extreme skiing. While this video is primarily a treat for those who love to ski, the beautifully photographed nonstop action makes the production hypnotically entertaining for those who have never ventured near the slopes. --Robert J. McNamara

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not great, February 4, 2000

This video was good, however I think that Warren Miller has done better. All of Warren's videos are great, but of his films I have seen this was not one of my favorites. I recomend getting Freeriders, also by Warren Miller, which in my opinion is the best video he has made.

This review is from: Snowriders [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This wild video contains numerous resorts, awesome skiing and boarding set to really good music. It is something you will want to watch over and over and never get sick of. The talent of the riders is exceptional with really cool manouvres and amazing section of the Mogul Exhibition at Brekenridge Co.
