SUZY STUMP: CHILDREN OF WINTER >>>

If it’s November, it must be Warren Miller time. Again. Since before Ike was president, Miller has been making, more or less, annual films dedicated to the exhilaration of all things vertical and snowy. The fact that he’s still doing it â€" though the actual director’s reins have been handed to successors, including his son, Kurt â€" suggests that he’s doing something right for his target audience. It’s winter sports porn for me.  I soak in every money shot.  For the 59th time a Miller film tours the nation, and this time it’s all about the Children of Winter.  Ski and snowboard athletes tackle the world, including Japan, Austria, and Iceland.
