I took the kids to see the local showing of this seasons Warren Miller movie “Children of Winter”. This marked the first time my children have been to the theatre to see one of Warren’s films on the big screen. I can remember being about Grace’s age and going to the Palace Theatre for my first Miller movie with my Dad. I have not missed many since, as it’s kind of a tradition. It was pretty cool to carry this on with my kids and their Grandpa. It was fun to see their reaction to the whole scene and just added to their enthusiasm for skiing.
The film itself was pretty typical of the modern era of WM with lots of heli skiing, big air and very blatant product placements throughout. I wasn’t surprised to hear a couple Foo Fighters tracks mixed in which was an added bonus. The story line of the film was to never grow old, live your life to the fullest and enjoy each and every day like it’s your last. A good reminder that taking some risk in letting it all hang out every now and again and not sweating the small stuff is really important. All and all a very fun night which put a little additional fire in everyone’s belly to get out and make some turns!
See ya’ there!
