Borrowed one of these from a friend before taking our four year old skiiing for the first time. Couldn't have asked for a better tool to help us get him on and off the ski lifts, and up off the ground when he fell. Our son liked it too, as it didn't hurt or pull on him when we lifted him. We're buying our own for the next trip to the snow. Really made a great difference in our ski-days.

Great video, classic Warren Miller. Awesome Blue Ray quality and theater sound makes this a must have for skiers and snowboarders. I have seen most of Warren Miller films and this one is very unique with the stories and adventures. Highly recommended.

The joy of all earlier Warren Miller movies was the crusty commentary by Miller. He doesn't do it any more and in its place is a banal, high volume thumping music and stupid commentary. I would advise missing this movie.

As another reviewer says, Warren Miller is no longer involved in Warren Miller movies and it shows. One things you could always count on in Warren Miller films was lots and lots of great skiing action. In this one, most segments feature more talking than actual skiing! It's unfortunate because what skiing they do show looks absolutely jaw dropping in HD.

My husband and I are huge fans of the Warren Miller films. When Johnny Mosley started to narrate in previous films we were like this sucks. He gets better and better every film. Although we do miss Warren so so much. Great film as always. I am from NH and ski at Okemo a lot as my season pass is good there, I really hate how they make it look like the Wobbly Barn (where the band does their gig) is at Okemo, it is really at Killington. The skit with Jason Biggs was drawn out and cheesy. I love the ski joring part, so awesome! Can't wait to see what next years film will be. Enjoy!

It is sad that this title was sold by his kid to a company that doesn't really get it. They probably didn't like the production costs and they certainly don't have the sense of humor. I'm sorry that this is one of the few of this series in Blu-Ray, because it does not live up to expectations. The key year is 2004, before that Warren Miller was the man in charge, now it is "Time, Inc" and you might just as well buy any other skiing movie. I was disappointed in the film, it lacks the life of the Miller films, that made me go and search the net to see why it has all gone wrong. Save your money and hope they re-issue the old movies.

Another excellent offering from TGR. Lots of deep pow, gnarly lines and huge hucks. Definitely worth a watch.

This video is tremendous. I bought it on iTunes but after watching it I totally had to have it on dvd as well. The soundtrack is stellar & the footage was great. Best thing is that it mostly shows skiing action, whereas the last few years of Warren Miller films follow the same formula every time (here's guys making lines off a peak... next here's snowboarders riding rails in a parking lot at night & slamming their face on concrete). Besides the predictability, Miller films of late go easy on the action & instead just talk you to death. Warning: this video is ALL skiing & no snowboarding.

This is not a good product. I found the velcro came unstuck from the skis and reinstalled it, only to have it come undone again ruining the remainder of the day skiing with my son. On the other hand, this company makes a great harness.

I have used the Hotronic ski boot heaters for about 10 years. Due to circulation problems, my feet get cold very quickly while skiing. The Hotronic heaters have helped quite a bit, and the company continues to make improvements with battery life on the product. These insoles are a fantastic improvement, and make the boot heaters much more versatile for me. They make installation into a boot a breeze. I did it myself with the instructions provided that had NO WORDS - ONLY PICTURES!! Those are my kind of directions. Also, the insoles make it much easier to move the heaters from boot to boot. Now I can use them skiing one day, and move them to my apres ski boots for a day of watching ski racing at the bottom of the slope. This makes the hotronic heaters a much higher value for me. I have also invested in the new M4 battery pack, and I am hoping it lives up to the promises of increased battery life.

I got these for skiing and they have surpassed my expectations. Very warm, snug but not too tight, and go high enough to cover the interior of my ski boot. They are definitely recommended.
