ORCAS ISLAND, Wash. — Warren Miller, a pioneer in the genre of skiing and adventure sports films, died Wednesday night at his Washington state home. He was 93.

Miller produced more than 750 sports films during his career, 11 books and hundreds of published nonfiction stories.

Warren Miller Entertainment, the television and entertainment studio run by Miller’s son, is based in Boulder.

His yearly films on skiing and other outdoor sports are well known for their photography and appeal that spanned 60 years.

Warren Miller is a hero of mine. He turn his passion into a new art form. The ski movie didn't exist before him and sport movies in general utilize what he created. I got to meet him once and he signed my snowboard, never gonna sell that one. He lived a long and interesting life. I will continue to hear is voice in my inner monologue. "You want your skis, go get em!"

Warren Miller's movies were an incentive to a lot of us to go skiing in the 60's.
He inspired the skiers to start the Kandahar Ski Club at Wheat Ridge High (chose the name because no one had ever heard of Kandahar)
A Ski Bus was chartered on Saturdays and we would ride up to Winter Park for the day.
The Ski Train was an alternative but it required more time and money.

Sounds like the Eskimo Ski Club I was in as a kid.
