The world’s biggest name in snowsports cinema—Warren Miller Entertainment—celebrates its 68th ski and snowboard film with downhill thrills, global adventure and a nod to those that taught us to slide on snow.
Snow riders are a family—one big tribe comprising of many smaller ones. Familial rites pass down
through generations. Skier roots grow deep in high mountain soil. Line of Descent celebrates just that,
the lineage of legendary athletes through a multi-generational cast of skiing’s icons and fresh faces,
including Tommy Moe, Jonny Moseley, JT Holmes, Lexi duPont, Seth Wescott, Kalen Thorien, Marcus
Caston, Jeremy Jensen, Griffin Post, and more.
This year, Volkswagen joins the most esteemed name in winter sports films as the presenting sponsor of
the Line of Descent U.S. film tour. The partnership builds on the heritage and passion associated with
both the Volkswagen and Warren Miller brands. Volkswagen’s partnership will grow authentically well into
2019, elevating the event experience that is the Warren Miller institution and marking the beginning of
every winter season.
Ride along on a stunning cinematic journey as we travel near and far, descending some of North
America’s deepest lines in Jackson Hole, Montana, Silverton, Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows, and
Steamboat.
From powsurfing to splitboard, motorcycle, dogsled or snowmobile, watch as athletes chase winter along
the Beartooth Pass, the French Alps, New Zealand, British Columbia, and Norway.
“This season, we explore how skiers are shaped by picking up a pair of skis for the first time,” notes
Warren Miller’s veteran producer Josh Haskins. “More often than not, it’s family who introduces us to the
sport or steers us on the path towards an ongoing passion—be it a ski bum lifestyle, a professional career
or simply the desire to pass on the same feeling to the next generation. There is a kinship unlike any
other in the ski community, and Warren Miller is the elder, bringing generations of skiers and riders
together for 68 years, and this year is no different.”
Since 1949, ski families have cheered the official kickoff of winter with the ski film company that started it
all. As the family grows, the traditions grow richer. Volkswagen Presents Warren Miller’s Line of Descent
will premiere worldwide in three locations on October 13, 2017, including Salt Lake City, UT, Portland, OR
and Bozeman, MT. Screenings will then sweep across the U.S. from the Pacific Northwest to the East
Coast from October to January.
Film attendees will enjoy lift ticket and gear savings from Warren Miller resort, retail
and partnered brands and also be entered to win nightly prizes like swag and ski vacations. Local show
dates and times can be found on warrenmiller.com.

Gosling’s, L.L.Bean, Ester C, Ducati, Airstream, Helly Hansen, K2, HEAD, Marker Dalbello Völkl USA and
