Warren Miller began his filming career shortly after leaving the Navy in 1946. He bought a small trailer and an 8mm movie camera, moved to Sun Valley and began shooting ... and his movies have continued their annual run ever since.

At first he showed his movies to friends, then on invitation from small groups. In 1950, he took his first full-length production on the road — "Deep and Light."

He rented out halls and theaters, usually with borrowed money, and charged admission to his shows. He booked show halls near ski resorts so that he could film the next year's footage during the day and show the current film in the evening. Before long, he was showing his films in 130 cities a year.

The productions continue in the Miller traditions, showing skiing sequences, and some nonskiing, taken around the world at both known and unknown resorts and on traditional and nontraditional skiing slopes.

"Children of Winter" is Miller's 58th ski movie.

Tickets are on sale at Ski N' See stores, Park's Sportsman in Orem and theater box offices.
