      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Warren Miller's latest film gets the adrenaline going while watching the onscreen action; it's easy to imagine what was going on in the minds of those on the slopes. As the snowbirds go in search of yet higher and Higher Ground, the trip down is awe-inspiring, breathtaking, and totally addictive. Enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds and from beginners to hotdoggers, these folks all have one thing in common

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture is noisy and gritty, making it look much older than it actually is. Details are not as sharp as the format is capable of. Colors are generally well rendered, but black levels are not as deep as they could be. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #37 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The magazine provides no bull, solid technical information that is truly useful to me. The product reviews are excellent for helping me decide what to purchase. The DVD software reviews also help me to decide what movies are reference quality to add to my collection. I also love that the issues are not stuffed full of advertisements.
