Calling all snow birds! Warren Miller Entertainment’s newest ski and snowboard film, “Volkswagen presents Warren Miller’s Line of Descent”, will be screened at Gore Mountain Ski Area this February during Presidents’ Week.

The athletes will take on terrain in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, the French Alps, New Zealand, and Norway, using a variety of means not limited to skis and boards.

As a beloved tradition for skiers and riders for many years, all snow lovers are invited to this special screening, nationally sponsored by Volkswagen and hosted by Gem Radio Theatre, at Gore Mountain Ski Area on Thursday, February 22nd at 5:00PM in the downstairs brown bag room in the Base Lodge.

The Warren Miller Entertainment family – and the snowsports world at large – lost one of its original patriarchs – Warren Miller on January 25, at the age of 94. His humor and adventure-seeking spirit forged the legacy of a genre and a passion for freedom. Warren Miller Entertainment will continue to celebrate the life of Warren Miller each fall. His legacy will live on.
