Warren Miller, Filmmaker, Author, Icon
Warren Miller, the self-described ski bum turned filmmaker and author, died on January 24, 2018, at the
age of 93. His legacy is one of passion, storytelling, sport, and freedom. From humble beginnings of living
out of a trailer to being called the single greatest influence in the action-sports film industry, Warren

Miller’s film contributions from the 1950s to 2004 were important contributions to the winter sports
culture. His films were widely recognizable as being part documentary and part comedy. His company,

Warren Miller Entertainment (WME), now under new management, continues to produce winter sports
movies that are an annual event, often serving as a pep rally for the ski season. Their 69th
film is scheduled
to be released in the fall of 2018.
Miller, born in Hollywood, California, in 1924, took up skiing and surfing as a child. After his discharge
from the Navy in 1946, he bought a camera and while living in a trailer in the parking lot of Sun Valley

(“In Memoriam”). At first, Miller would show the films and narrate to friends. Friends turned into parties,
and parties turned into crowds. Before long, Miller had pieced together a full-length feature and would
be touring in 130 cities a year. In reference to his prolific career, Miller wanted to “tell stories and have the
film to back it up.” It was a “labor of love” for Miller, whose first experience on snow was transformational.
“It was total freedom but absolutely no control over it.” (Channel, 2012) In the years that followed,

Miller would be recognized 10 times for the CINE Golden Eagles Award, eight times for the IFPA Award,
and the International Documentary Achievement award, to name a few.
The filmmaker and ski icon was committed to his unique craft of documenting ski culture, its
evolving action, and, of course, humor. His recognizable monotone voice and dry wit created a pallet

and Sciences. A close friend explained, “Warren, they don’t think you make “real” movies.” To which Miller
responded, “...I don’t.” (Galbraith, 2018) Doing things Warren’s way was as much about being headstrong
as it was about telling the story. At a time when corporate sponsors, big budgets, and larger staff were
the norm, Miller focused on small budgets, intimate relationships, and family. At one point, as Miller
describes it, after becoming frustrated with partners and the lack of meaningful relationships, he sold the

company to his son yet remained active in the company for another 15 years (Galbraith, 2018).

Off of the slopes, Miller and WME committed to being benefactors for more than just skiing. In
2009, Miller and others opened the Warren Miller Performing Arts Center in Big Sky, Montana (“Warren
Miller Performing Arts Center,” 2018). In addition, Miller helped develop the Warren Miller Freedom
Foundation’s Young Entrepreneur Program (“In Memoriam”). This program was designed to give children
from grades 6 through 12 introductory experiences in business management, building relationships,

and customer service. In 2012, and in partnership with former Vice President Al Gore’s Climate Reality
Project, WME began to tackle climate change from a unique perspective. The initiative, Pro Snow,

focuses on the preservation of winter sports through protecting against environmental changes (“In
Memoriam”).
Warren Miller, while credited with creating the genre of action sports filmmaking, discovered this
untapped market because of a passion for the sport. Often, doing what he loved rather than doing what
made strong business sense, Miller developed a brand that is synonymous with outdoors, skiing, and

freedom. This passion, with 1,200 columns and 11 books to his credit, developed into an industry that is

loved by many today (“In Memoriam”).
