These are the moments we live for and these are the moments Warren Miller has captured for over 20 years of filmmaking.

It’s because of this synergy, this common understanding of why we do what we do, that Shred Optics has partnered with Warren Miller’s 2011 Film Tour of Like There’s No Tomorrow.

By sponsoring the Film Tour, Shred aligns itself with the message it truly believes is its heart and soul. Engineers, designers, athlete riders and testers all go to work every day and try to make Shred products that have style and technological superiority, but that retain the core Shred philosphy and feeling throughout the creation process.

We’re also excited to have Ted Ligety associated with Warren Miller. Just 2 weeks away, the 2011/2012 FIS Alpine Race Ski Season kicks off in Soelden, Austria. Multiple Giant Slalom globe and World Champion Ted Ligety gets ready to take on a deep field at the annual opener, the first test of his many months of preparation in the off-season with training camps in New Zealand and Chile, as well as Utah based strength and conditioning work under his belt.

The schedule then takes Ligety and the men out to Levi, Finland for a slalom event before hitting North American speed events in Lake Louise, Canada and Beaver Creek, Colorado, where last year Ligety pulled in a first place finish in the lone North America tech event, Giant Slalom.

It will no doubt be another long season for the racers, especially Ligety who has committed to all five disciplines. Even so, he aims to haul in a lot of hardware and has been invited to film with Warren Miller in Alaska for some big mountain, backcountry action that will test his conditioning one last time before the end of the winter snow season. If all goes according to plan, Ligety will be featured in the 2012 / 63^rd annual Warren Miller Film (not in this year’s film as we previously announced).

Suffice it to say, I got some flack for sounding skeptical, especially since Shred is an actual sponsor! Never having said it actually “sucks”, I’m OK with my question. It’s true, no? There are so many films out there now, it’s going to take a little something special for it to be the cream that rises to the top!

I haven’t seen the Incredible Project section yet (only the trailer), but I have seen some more teasers for the other parts to Argon Films’ “Euphoria” videos. Here’s the general Euphoria trailer that Shred helped sponsor and that features newest shredder Florian Heim. By the look of it, the camera work is top notch. They really went for some amazing aerial and crane shots that impress. The editing looks way better than average too.

Check out the trailer here and see for yourself…

You can download the entire film here:

Always pushing his limits and going for it, Romain is a doer. Some talk and pose and Romain just does.

Shredding is about the feeling you get when pushing your limits and having fun.

It’s a deeply personal thing that we experience when we’re in our element, up on the mountain faced with untracked snow, deep blue skies, nothing but the deafening silence of the void and our breath crystalizing in the winter chill.

These are the moments we live for and these are the moments Warren Miller has captured for over 20 years of filmmaking.

It’s because of this synergy, this common understanding of why we do what we do, that Shred Optics has partnered with Warren Miller’s 2011 Film Tour of Like There’s No Tomorrow.

By sponsoring the Film Tour, Shred aligns itself with the message it truly believes is its heart and soul. Engineers, designers, athlete riders and testers all go to work every day and try to make Shred products that have style and technological superiority, but that retain the core Shred philosphy and feeling throughout the creation process.

Warren Miller celebrates this philosophy, these transcendent moments and all the people who live for them.

“Its your annual reminder” says Miller’s website, “that winter is on its way and, with it, months of an adrenaline-fueled dance with gravity and dawns with fresh snow…”

“I’m just so excited to be included in this film” says Ted Ligety who has a prominent spot in the Alaska segment. “I grew up watching Warran Miller films as a grom and they always signaled the official start of the winter snow season.”

From India to Alaska, New Zealand and Chile, Ted and the world’s best skiers on some of the most challenging terrain ever are brought to big screens all over the world, including (see attached schedule):

The team at Shred – from the design and engineering hub in Italy to the North American headquarters in New Hampshire, shredders in the western frontier and scattered on mountain tops everywhere – are stoked to join the Warren Miller family and be a part of the long-standing tradition of awesome filmmaking.

Feel the message in the flick and take it to where you feel it in your heart – on the mountain.

Onward and Upward!

Wow I feel like it has been forever since I blogged. I have been doing so many fun things and have been around so many fun inspirational people that I think I might have just overloaded. I am in a unmotivated state. Not in a bad way, just different. I think maybe its the travel and high elevation. We are already back in Chile. It has been one year of skiing for me. We are in Valle Navado and the sun is shinning and the snow is white. I fried my face off even though I put 5 layers of sunscreen on. I have already passed out by the pool drooling and gone on some good free skiing muscle building runs. So things are great. We had our first day of training and it went well.

According to this ESPN video, the event was a hit.

cheers Tobi

This summer I lived in my van, and skied every day. I was invited to coach a few sessions in Whistler, BC at Camp of Champions. I also spent a session courtesy of The North Face shreddin’ the COC lane. Thanks to everyone that made my awesome summer possible. Enjoy!

Pretty damn inspiring, Rob! Thanks for the report.

Good to see some traditions haven’t died out, like Ted Ligety’s annual junker stunt show. Here Ted, Jon Olsson, Warner Nickerson & Mike Janyk hit the ramp and just massacre these junkers… good fun to watch, but please, kids, don’t try this at home!
