“I’ve lost count of the number of Warren Miller films I have been to over the years in the autumn,” said James.
“It’s a chance to sit back, relax and dream of the approaching winter.
“There is always a great atmosphere and I always bump into a few old friends at the bar during the interval as we get excited about the season ahead.

“There are giveaways and I am pleased to say that one the PlanetSKI team, Marie Taylor, won a Helly Hansen hoodie.”
Also on offer was a heli-ski trip, an Ikon pass and plenty more.
We are pleased to say we didn’t need the Ikon pass as we have just secured two for the winter ahead.
Ikon Pass holders have access to more than 50 global mountain destinations in 11 countries across the Americas, Europe, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.

Each year the films grow and evolve.
There was a sequence with people who had lost a leg and skied on one ski with outriders.
There was a feature of the National Brotherhood of Skiers.
Over 50 years ago two black American skiers , Ben Finley & Art Clay, were introduced by a mutual friend.
It led to the ‘National Brotherhood of Skiers’.

“There are the usual scenes in Alaska with big mountain skiing and deep power, but the films always have some surprising and inspiring locations,” continued James.
“This time round it was Greece and it has inspired me to put it on my list of places to ski.
“A road trip with my touring skis round some ski resorts in Greece with some like-minded skiers sounds like a new adventure to me.”
