Saw Warren Miller’s movie at Academy of Natural Sciences with @Schif tonight. Here’s a little trip report.
at 6:15pm, we were sipping drinks at my house and decided to go on a whim. By 6:30, we left my house and 15 min later, we showed up in a room full of dinosaur bones.
You walk in and to your right was a t-rex
And straight on - some polar bears and more bones.
but I knew I was in the right spot for the sheer number of people wearing Patagonia.
tickets were $22 at the door. the guy at the door was like you can venmo me - eh it’s fine, you can just go in. Here’s a ticket. 🤷🏼♀️ So can’t complain.
I’ve been to maybe 10 or so ski movies - basically annually + some one offs… once in San Fran for Pretty Faces and the rest were at the Boulder Theatre & Paramount in Denver around 2009-2015 with a group of old friends from tgr or with my brother. They were always sold out shows and the energy was electrifying. It was a huge event.
In Colorado, they use to give out skis, jackets, base layers and toss Hestra gloves to get the crowd hype.
At the show tonight, a blind guy with a strong arm threw out about 3 Warren Miller shirts and a beach ball.
I always love ski movies. It gets me super hyped and makes me want to firm up my ski plans
but …. I have some thoughts on the movie itself. It felt very 2020.
has anyone else seen it?
