Snowriders 2 (1997)
Opening with a nightmarish montage of an avalanche, Snowriders 2: The Journey Continues, from the master of ski films, Warren Miller, quickly transforms into an exuberant celebration of downhill glory. In Miller style, gorgeous footage of some of the world's most skillful skiers tackling the world's gnarliest slopes is combined with intelligently chosen rock music to create an entertaining mix. Miller's film crews shoot skiers in the Alps of the South Island of New Zealand, track Americans making a lengthy pilgrimage to tackle the remote and forbidding slopes of Kazakhstan, and follow a tattooed and pierced snowboarder from his apartment in Greenwich Village to Killington, Vermont.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Although he is not necessarily credited for directing or producing this film, I know Warren Miller had a hand in it, as it has the feel of the other films he's narrated and directed. Whenever I catch one of his films, I prepare to spend the next two hours watching, and this film is no exception. I can't explain why, but they grab you and won't let you go until it's over, and when it's over, you just want to watch another. I _HIGHLY_ recommend this film.
