Official Trailer | Volkswagen presents Warren Miller's "Face of Winter"
Loving the pure joys of winter is something we have in common with the late, great Warren Miller-who helped create and capture the magic of skiing. This fall, Face of Winter, the 69th installment from Warren Miller Entertainment presented by Volkswagen, will bring new and veteran athletes together to pay tribute to the man who started it all.
...From RED Mountain to Switzerland, Chamonix to Portillo, Warren Miller Entertainment's Face of Winter, presented by Volkswagen, will be a visual journey to many of the best skiing locations in the world. At the same time, with the death of Warren Miller this past year, this year's film will pay homage to the man who practically invented the modern ski movie. It's easy to see that this will be a movie you don't want to miss!

This year, Warren Miller Entertainment pushed their limits with a eXtreme ski mountaineering adventure.

It's not cliché to call ChamoniX "eXtreme" because that's exactly what it is. The French village is the epicenter of ski mountaineering, and a place where ropes can be used as often as skis to get down the mountains. While it might be a bit much for some skiers, it's easy to get a kick out of watching professionals do their thing.
For Face of Winter, presented by Volkswagen, Warren Miller Entertainment explored the famed steeps of ChamoniX with Black Crows Skis' athletes Michael "Bird" Shaffer, Bruno Compagnet, and Camille JaccouX. In addition to the steep terrain, the town is also known for its pumping nightlife scene and friendly hospitality.
