Synopsis
Warren Miller's "Snowriders" features extreme skiers and snowboarders tackling steep Alaskan peaks and remote British Columbia slopes. The film captures the thrill of athletes leaping off cliffs and performing stunts, including Scotsmen in kilts catching "big air." Offbeat humor punctuates the action, with scenes of a snowshoe race reminiscent of silent film antics and "face jumping" from Alpine glaciers. Miller's narration, filled with corny quips, pairs with a contemporary rock soundtrack that syncs with the breathtaking visuals.
