Ski ala Carte

About This Movie

So, 'Ski ala Carte' from 1978 is really a trip back to the 70s through the lens of skiing. Warren Miller’s narration sets this laid-back yet vibrant tone, like a warm cup of cocoa after a long day on the slopes. The film captures the era's unique aesthetics, showcasing a blend of breathtaking ski runs and the groovy fashion of the time. As you watch, you'll notice how the pacing ebbs and flows, almost like the rhythm of skiing itself – one moment exhilarating, the next reflective. And those practical effects? Nothing beats the raw energy of skiers tackling those runs without all the CGI fluff we see today. It’s got this real charm that taps into that carefree spirit of the Me Decade.

This film has been released in various formats over the years, but original VHS copies are particularly sought after by collectors. The scarcity of quality prints makes it a fascinating piece for any skiing or documentary enthusiast. There's a unique allure to holding a piece of skiing history from the Me Decade, and the film's distinctive style keeps it alive in collector conversations.
