Warren Miller's Higher Ground

[jump]

Who has the best freebies ? WM, MSP, TGR etc ?

Overall I have received the best schwag from WM, they have the largest pocketbook, so it's easier for them to fork out free stuff.

What kind of schwag did ya get ?

Lift ticket to the Canyons (with some blackout dates but not too bad)
Year subscription to Skiing.
Could enter a drawing for a bunch of stuff, but we didn't have pens.
One other thing but I can't remember what it is right now. Not too bad for twenty bucks. Plus a movie that if nothing else got me stoked to go skiing / boarding!

some of the ec shows are giving as many as 5 lift tickets to each attendee....http://www.warrenmiller.com/wmiller/...rs/ny_bin.html

We went to the last one here in Oz and only stayed for 1/2 the film (we were going to Cirque du Soleil the same night) but with the vouchers that you got with your ticket, we got 4 days free between two of us on lift tickets for our ski trip to the Oz mountains. So I didn't give a fuck about the film, cos for the price of a couple of tickets we saved (nett) ~$170. Pretty good deal, really.

Same discussion different year.

He shared narration responsibility this year with Olympic freestyle skier Jeremy Bloom. In reality, Warren narrated a scant few lines in this season’s film

Sadly, Warren's "narration" sounded like dubs from previous films. Not merely the same jokes retold, mind you, but literally copy-paste jobs from old films. It isn't even "Warren" talking anymore, just a borrowed sound byte.
