Warren Miller's Higher Ground Hitting Theatres In Fall 2005

WHAT: For a dedicated band of the world's most acclaimed winter sports athletes, the sport all about going downhill keeps reaching new heights. Warren Miller's HIGHER GROUND chronicles these skiers and snowboarders in their never ending search for new and thrilling ways to ride the snow. Helicopters, winged flight suits, an aircraft carrier and the New York City Fire Department unite with skis and snowboards in the ultimate quest for snow perfection. The search crisscrosses the globe hitting the backcountry in Alaska, terrain parks in Colorado, deep powder in British Columbia and cliffs in Switzerland.

FEATURING: Jeremy Bloom: The 23-year-old Olympic freestyle skiing champion, former NCAA football player (and Tommy Hilfiger model) explores a side of winter in HIGHER GROUND he never knew existed: Alaska's backcountry mountains accessible only by helicopter. Favored for the gold in the 2006 Olympics, Bloom leaves the groomed world behind on this journey into challenging and unpredictable winter terrain.

Glen Plake: The mohawked ambassador of free skiing, is one of the most recognized and influential skiing athletes in the world. Plake visits California's Heavenly Resort in HIGHER GROUND touring the slopes he grew up skiing.

WHY: Warren Miller hit the snow more than 50 years ago with a single camera and a dream of bringing the mountains to life on the big screen. In doing so, Miller pioneered action sports filmmaking and has documented the ski bum lifestyle for millions worldwide, inspiring people of all ages to keep their snow riding dreams alive. Today the company brings fans even deeper into the heart of the mountains, showing HIGHER GROUND as the country's first high definition film tour. True to the company's independent roots, the film remains self distributed.
