Warren Miller's "Line of Descent"
Calendar Date:
Snowriders are a family - one big tribe comprising of many smaller ones. Familial rites pass down through generations. Skier roots grow deep in high mountain soil. Line of Descent celebrates just that, the lineage of legendary athletes through a multi-generational cast of skiing's icons and fresh faces, including Tommy Moe, Jonny Moseley, JT Holmes, Lexi duPont, Seth Wescott, Kalen Thorien, Marcus Caston, Jeremy Jensen, Griffin Post, and more.
Ride along on a stunning cinematic journey as we travel near and far, descending some of North America's deepest lines in Montana, Jackson Hole, Silverton, Squaw Valley Alpine meadows, and Steamboat. From powsurfer to splitboard, motorcycle, dogsled or snowmobile, watch as athletes chase winter along the Beartooth Pass, the French Alps, New Zealand, British Columbia and Norway.
Producer Josh Haskins notes, "This season, we explore how skiers are shaped by picking up a pair of skis for the first time. More often than not, it's family who introduces us to the sport or steers us on the path towards an ongoing passion - be it a ski bum lifestyle, a professional career or simply the desire to pass on the same feeling to the next generation. There is a kinship unlike any other in the ski community, and Warren Miller is the elder, bringing generations of skiers and riders together for 68 years, and this year is no different."
