WARREN MILLER’S OFF THE GRID SNOW ADVENTURE Warren Miller film crews rewrite the definition of adventure as the world’s best winter sports athletes embark on a global mission to discover the deepest snow and the steepest mountains in their latest feature film, OFF THE GRID. Having captured unprecedented snow conditions from around the world, this year’s offering is unsurpassed in the 57-year tradition of Warren Miller films. Warren Miller’s OFF THE GRID exposes the undiscovered side of winter with spine tingling footage of world class athletes charging through deep powder and carving turns on unthinkably steep terrain in locations as diverse as Kashmir, India to Kicking Horse, Canada. Part action, part adventure and part documentary, the film features skier Jamie Pierre and his world record-setting 245-foot snow-covered cliff drop; Kevin Bramble and Monte Meier becoming the first adaptive skiers to tackle the remote, helicopter-accessed backcountry of Alaska’s Chugach Mountains; and the heart stopping action of Reggie Christ as he escapes the path of a monster avalanche in Alaska that is truly OFF THE GRID. “The grid is a metaphor,” says Producer/Director Max Bervy. “It represents the boundaries and routines of everyday life. Inversely, OFF THE GRID is a place where nothing is common and everything is possible. OFF THE GRID is where the romance and soul of the sport come alive in the mountains that we love. It’s the place where we redefine boundaries, take risks and search out unique and undiscovered areas to escape the compromise of everyday life.” Narrated by Olympic skier turned NFL football player, Jeremy Bloom and packed with a notable cast including Olympic 2006 medalist Toby Dawson and X-Games Gold Medalists Zach and Reggie Crist, OFF THE GRID takes viewers out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary in over 16 locations around the globe. Along with free-fall action, thrilling adventure and magnificent backdrops, OFF THE GRID delivers a high-energy soundtrack on a state-of-the-art digital sound system. Warren Miller’s OFF THE GRID will tour Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth during May and June as a limited release. An expo featuring the latest snow products, clothing and travel is held in conjunction with the Melbourne and Sydney shows. The national tour is proudly supported by United Airlines, Colorado Ski Country USA, Hotham, Falls Creek, Jeep and Corona. A regional tour is also scheduled as part of the national season.
