The Ski King

Warren Miller's latest film, "Dynasty," is playing at the Kalamazoo State Theater Friday and Saturday, Nov. 20-21 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 22 at 3 p.m. It is also showing at the Frauenthal Theater in Muskegon Nov. 28 at 8 p.m.

Warren Miller started filming 60 years ago and though he himself is now retired, his company--Warren Miller Entertainment--hosts "the largest action sports film tour on the planet." His films show skiers and snowboarders from around the world doing trick after trick after trick, often in breath taking locations.

The film is opening in over 240 locations across the country and is often shown for only one or two nights. Miller's films have a passionate fanbase who come not just for the movie but also for the free stuff that accompanies the local showings. Viewers in both Muskegon and Kalamazoo will receive over $100 in free stuff when they buy a ticket, such as 2 for 1 lift tickets to Boyne Mountain.

Tickets are $15 or $13 for kids 12 and under (in Kalamazoo, Sunday night only). For tickets in Muskegon, go here and in Kalamazoo, here.
