Skiing with Warren

Monday, October 26, 2009

Admit it – you’re getting excited about skiing. And one of the indicators of a new season is coming up – the annual Warren Miller movie. This year’s film, called “Dynasty,” is a celebration of the 60th anniversary of Warren Miller ski movies. It opened a bit over a week ago in Utah, and will hit Colorado Springs at the Pikes Peak Center Nov. 20 and 21. It features new film footage alongside gems from the past six decades of Warren Miller films. “Dynasty” is narrated by free skier Jonny Moseley; one segment features Chris Davenport and another shows monoskiers tackling last winter’s X-Games skier cross course.

To further celebrate 60 years of Warren Miller films, Ski magazine and Skiing magazine have joined with the ski industry to offer 60 days of giveaways. Every day from Oct. 1 to Dec. 1, one person will win one of 60 prizes, including skis, lift tickets and resort accommodations. The grand prize is a four-day trip for two to Snowbird, Utah. To enter, go to Skinet.com, log in and enter by answering a trivia question or performing a Facebook task.

Even if you don’t win a prize in the contest, at some Colorado locations including Colorado Springs you will “win” a free lift ticket when you buy your Warren Miller tickets. As in past years, ticketholders will get a ticket to Winter Park, Copper Mountain or Steamboat. There are various promotions at other locations across the country.
