Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Snow Place Like Home

If you’ve got an incurable addiction to snow — of the precipitation variety, of course — Warren Miller’s Wintervention will probably tease your hankering rather than curb it. But that’s OK; it’s December, and you can easily get your mountain fix following the film. Following in the footsteps of Warren Miller — the ski icon whose name is essentially synonymous with the snow season — this cinematic powder adventure follows Chris Davenport, Lindsey Vonn, Doug Stoup and other top riders as they carve lines down looming peaks in Colorado, Norway, New Zealand ... even Antarctica, which Stoup has called “the last frontier.” And with pulse-quickening cliff drops and untouched runs, no wonder. Olympic gold medalist Jonny Moseley adds a touch of humor to the big-screen spectacular in his narration.
