Warren Miller’s 2008 Film Tour showcases spectacular footage shot in Japan, Austria, British Columbia, Alaska, and Iceland with jaw-dropping performances by an impressive assembly of world-class athletes, including Jonny Moseley, Daron Rahlves, Marco Sullivan, Seth Wescott, Gerry Lopez, and Wendy Fisher. Timeless Warren Miller athlete Chris Anthony takes on Leadville, Colorado’s legendary skijoring competition. Pep Fujas explores Silverton Mountain, the only backcountry ski resort in the United States.  Teenage snowboard pro Ben Watts chases surf legend Gerry Lopez on Mount Bachelor’s frozen waves.  Skiing’s top female athletes meet up in Crested Butte for the deepest powder in decades.  And Jeff Annetts, Drew Stoecklein, and Derek Foose sail Iceland, skiing mountains that end in the ocean. 

“When it’s cold and snowing, others run inside. But skiers and snowboarders do the opposite, no matter how old we are,” said Max Bervy, director and producer. “We are all the Children of Winter, and if you ski or ride, this movie reaffirms what we all know, that we’re lucky to know the shortest, coldest days of the year.”

“A Toast to Tahoe Skiing” – Fashion Show & Live Auction

The Resort at Squaw Creek Rocked on Saturday Night…Over four hundred people attended Squaw Valley Institute’s fundraiser, “A Toast to Tahoe Skiing” and everyone had a great evening filled with fun, food and drink. A delicious dinner, prepared by Ristorante Montagne started the evening. Warren Miller, the guest speaker, commanded the attention of all with his provocative talk riddled with the dry sense of humor that he is known for. Sport’s Tahoe, Porter’s and the Resort at Squaw Creek put on a much enjoyed and well-choreographed fashion show working with a variety of modeling talent including Olympians and Extreme Skiers!

The Live Auction consisted of 7 items; six vacations to various locations and “A DAY of Skiing with Legend Skier, ROBBIE HUNTOON.“ With live auctioneers and a room filled with buyers, the live auction was a success. The Day of Skiing with Robbie Huntoon commanded the highest bid and went for $1400. And, even better, two different bidders wanted the Day of Skiing with Robbie Huntoon, so he was auctioned off again for another $1400! It was great. All proceeds go to the Squaw Valley Institute.

Fantastic evening!

Old Greenwood Presents Kenny Loggins

A Big Thank You to Old Greenwood

Imagine…half the Town of Truckee stretched out and relaxing on Old Greenwood’s meticulously designed Jack Nicholas Signature Golf Course with the Sierra Nevada Mountains, blue sky and pine trees as the backdrop and KENNY LOGGINS singing to his heart’s content. It felt good to hear the old and familiar songs like Footloose, Danger Zone, This is it and Celebrate Me Home. Kenny Logggins, now 60 years old, has been sharing his music for 4 decades. What a great late afternoon event. Thank you Old Greenwood.
