Ski films help feed the hunger for the coming ski season

It's been exciting to see the growing variety of ski films that make their way around the country these days. The Warren Miller Company has plenty of competition today. (Thank goodness!)

Yes, most films have big air, slick tricks and epic powder shots, but each filmmaker pours a bit of their own personality into their product. And, it's fun to see eastern ski locations in ski films that are shot by eastern production companies!

Here's a list of upcoming ski movies that will hit northern Vermont (and nearby) this fall. I'll update this list as more shows are announced.
