synopsis

Warren Miller film crews rewrite the definition of adventure as the world's best winter sports athletes embark on a global mission to discover the deepest snow and the steepest mountains in their latest feature film, Off The Grid. Having captured unprecedented snow conditions from around the world, this year's offering is unsurpassed in the 57-year tradition of Warren Miller films. Warren Miller's Off The Grid exposes the undiscovered side of winter with spine tingling footage of world class athletes charging through deep powder and carving turns on unthinkably steep terrain in locations as diverse as Kashmir, India to Kicking Horse, Canada. Part action, part adventure and part documentary, the film features skier Jamie Pierre and his world record-setting 245-foot snow-covered cliff drop; Kevin Bramble and Monte Meier becoming the first adaptive skiers to tackle the remote, helicopter-accessed backcountry of Alaska's Chugach Mountains; and the heart stopping action of Reggie Christ as he escapes the path of a monster avalanche in Alaska that is truly Off The Grid.
