Courtesy photo Superb ‘Storm’ offers bang-up wintry stunts The latest installment of a ski and snowboard stunt series lives up to its predecessors Ryan Bornheimer Senior Pulse Reporter It’s difficult to write a review of Warren Miller’s latest film, “Storm.” Despite its incredible photography of amazing winter sports action put to music ranging from Ani DiFranco to Medeski, Martin & Wood, it’s the kind of movie that attracts a specific demographic. For that reason, the average view er may find this latest collection of ski footage dazzling but ultimately redundant — whereas the average ski or snowboard enthusiast or will likely sit back and bask in the vis ceral rush of what’s on-screen. “Storm” is Warren Miller’s 53rd annual ski and snowboard film, sig naling the start of winter. Fans and novices alike will be struck by the jaw-dropping photography of some of the world’s leading winter ath letes atop colossal mountain peaks around the globe. “Storm” ventures everywhere from Alaska to the Aus trian Alps in an unending quest for the ultimate powder run. Even those unfamiliar with past Miller films will realize that all the elements of the sport are at an un precedented level of achievement and experimentation.

Instead, the Southwest ern Oregon chapter of the Ameri can Institute of Architects recog nized Common Grounds Cafe with the AIA People’s Choice Award for Best Interior Design. Housing Food Services Director Tom Driscoll said the University col laborated with Robertson/Sherwood locations, works in tandem with the equally edgy photography. Highlights include footage from Breckenridge, Colo., where this “bumps” course has been described as taking moguls where none have gone before: “inverted, backwards, twisted and anywhere but legal.” A montage of special note features backcountry rides with skiers soar ing over cliff-side roads and impro vised rail-slides. And make sure to stick around for the extreme mountain biking sequence where you’ll see things done with a bike that don’t seem humanly possible. “Storm” will come to Eugene at 7 p.m. Oct. 27 at South Eugene High School.
