Melbourne, Victoria. – April 1, 2019: With the icy cold blast this past weekend at the Australian resorts and snow falling on the peaks in New Zealand, it is a great reminder that winter is just around the corner. With that, it means that Warren Miller Australia & New Zealand is ready to kick off the season with its 69th ski and snowboard film, Face of Winter presented by Macpac.
The late, great Warren Miller built his legacy capturing the essence of winter magic, and today that legacy launches the start of the ski and snowboard season every year. In the 69th feature film, celebrate the man who became known as the face of winter throughout the industry, and the places and people he influenced along the way.

“The film is for anyone whose life (whether they realise it or not) was impacted by Warren Miller,” says WME Managing Director Andy Hawk. “We are all the face of winter—from the athletes to the audience to the locals in far-off destinations or even at our home mountain. Warren recognized this,and this year’s film celebrates that.”
