“Dynasty” is 60th annual ski and snowboard film from ski and snowboard film making legend Warren Miller. After watching the trailer, I can assure you that even at 85 years he is still skiing and making truly epics videos. Miller is a resident of nearby Orcas Island, from which you can see snow-capped Mount Baker and Vancouver’s North Shore Mountains in the distance on a clear day.

The Vancouver premiere is this weekend at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. Tickets are $23 at ticketmaster (plus their bullshit service charges) but you can save $7 by getting your ticket at Comor’s 4th Avenue or North Burnaby locations.If you get your tickets at Comor you also a $50 coupon for Comor and a special deal on holiday bookings in Lake Louise, Sunshine Village and Banff’s Norquay.

The show times are:

Saturday Nov 14    7:30pm    Queen Elizabeth Theatre
Sunday    Nov 15    4:00pm    Queen Elizabeth Theatre

As always, WhistlerBlackcomb is sponsoring the premiere and giving everyone free 2-for-1 Dual Mountain lift ticket vouchers. The film is shot in locations across the world, including right here in British Columbia, Washington State, China, Idaho, Alaska, Norway and Colorado. The press release does a good job of describing the film’s epic quality:

“Warren Miller’s Dynasty revels the past, present, and future of winter sport. It is a film that gathers the generations under one filmic roof, from the Crist Family Patriarch to Glen Plake to Daron Rahlves, and the youth explosion of terrain park talent they’ve inspired. It’s like a family reunion, held in neck deep pow, with mandatory air required for entry.”
