Wine, Women, Warren, and Skis

Warren Miller has a way with words! Whether you are a skier or not you will enjoy his witty tale of adventures. I give this 10 stars on a scale of 1-5!

I thought this book was fantastic...basically a lighter "On the Road" for the ski set, rife with the kind of shenanigans you always wish you could get yourself into. Any self respecting skier (and snowboarders, too) should read this just to be considered a well rounded individual. HOWEVER it should be noted that the book is deceptively thick (very thick pages) and you'll finish reading it waaaay before you're ready for it to end. I suppose it would make good bathroom reading, since it's mostly composed of short anecdotes. All in all a wonderful read, but it really leaves you wanting more. A LOT more.

VERY GOOD RELAXING READING. FUN TO READ ABOUT WARREN MILLER'S YOUNGER DAYS. NEED MORE "WOMEN" SIDE OF STORY IN THE BOOK, THOUGH. I ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH. MUST READ LIST FOR YOU, SKIER AND WHO LOVE TO DO WHAT HE LIKES TO DO.....

Warren Miller, in his youth, is here shown to have been a criminal genius. Poaching, trespassing, littering, sneaking onto chairlifts, and running over prize hens. And let's not go into how they thawed out their car engine.I found my old grandfather's first edition copy of this seminal text by consummate ski bum Warren Miller. I give it six stars, reduced to five, because this book is entirely too short. It's hilarious, packed cover-to-cover with Miller's dry, matter-of-fact storytelling. If you've seen enough of his films, you can even read the whole thing in Warren's voice.If you fancy yourself a ski bum, read this and learn just how far you have to go in enduring privations before you'll stack up against Warren Miller.

What a great tale - the story detailing the beginnings of the ultimate ski bum! I thoroughly enjoyed Warren's recounting of his early days. While fun and light, this book communicates his passion for skiing and all it involves. My only complaint is that the book is way to short!
