Prepare to charge into winter! Warren Miller's 'Playground', the world's largest action sports film, is a spectacle saturated with deep powder, incredible cinematography, technical lines, and massive air.
This 2008 feature showcases stunning global destinations from Sweden to Canada, Alaska to Japan, and several others. It also exposes the most unlikely winter sports destination - a resort found directly within the Arabian Desert called Ski Dubai. Olympic Gold Medallist, skiing innovator and pop icon Jonny Moseley adds a new title to his resume as he serves as the film's narrator.
This invigorating action display includes: a rare and insightful segment on ski racing king and perceived industry bad boy, Bode Miller; a trip to Alaska's untouched Chugach Range with X-Games Gold Medalists and brothers, Zach and Reggie Crist; unbelievably deep powder in Utah and British Columbia; astonishing aerial acrobatics from Sweden, and so much more.
'Playground' also highlights the future of snowboarding in a segment featuring the youth-infused Burton Smalls Team, in which these young prodigies teach us that size truly isn't everything.
The film is complimented with a high-energy soundtrack and includes the Beastie Boys, Maroon 5, Queens of the Stone Age and many more.
