WINTER STARTS NOW!
Winter Starts NOW! By: Curtis Fong – The Guy From Tahoe December 1, 2017: For over 25 years, I have had the pleasure and privilege of helping to “kick off winter” at Lake Tahoe by emceeing the annual Warren Miller Movie premier… This year, I continue to enjoy this honor.

This year’s 68th production is titled, “Line of Descent” and the movie is chock full of beautiful destinations with incredible athletes, bombing unbelievable lines down big mountains… The movie is narrated by Olympic Gold medalist, Jonny Moseley and “Line of Descent” features a segment produced at Squaw with local athletes, Errol Kerr and JT Holms carving it up at Squaw-Alpine with a fun segment skiing with Jonny and his sons. Amie Engerbretson, also from Squaw and one of most beautiful big lines female skier, is also featured with friends, McKenna Peterson and Lexi duPont. The 3 Blondes continue to have fun and ski lines of descent at Val D’Isere, the legendary resort in the French Alps.
