Warren Miller's "Off The Grid" comes to Fernie

This Fall, journey beyond the edge of winter with Warren Miller’s OFF THE GRID. Olympic skier turned NFL football player Jeremy Bloom serves as narrator as the world’s best winter sports athletes embark on a global mission to discover the deepest snow, the steepest mountains and the world’s gnarliest snowball fight.

Warren Miller’s OFF THE GRID exposes the undiscovered side of winter from Kashmir, India to Kicking Horse, Canada. Olympic 2006 medalist Toby Dawson and X-Games Gold Medalists Zach and Reggie Crist pack the notable cast of this adrenaline-filled documentary-style film that takes viewers out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary.

How does this film get OFF THE GRID? Skier Jaime Pierre sets a world-record, by skiing off the edge of a 245-foot snow-covered cliff. Kevin Bramble and Monte Meier become the first adaptive skiers to tackle the remote, helicopter accessed backcountry of Alaska’s Chugach Mountains. The World Snowball Fighting Championships in Hokkaido, Japan are showcased in an event so bizarre, and Off The Grid, that verbal explanation cannot do it justice.

Warren Miller’s OFF THE GRID will be shown in Fernie at the Community Centre on November 11th at 7PM. For more tour information, show dates and details, visit www.skitheworld.com. Tickets available at local ski retailers.
