Days Off

There are ski films, and then there is Warren Miller. Days Off marks the 77th installment of winter’s most beloved film tradition, and it asks a question only Warren Miller can answer: what do the world’s greatest ski and snowboard athletes do on their days off? Hosted by Katie Burrell — professional leisure athlete, filmmaker, and certified ski industry lifer who has spent a decade turning her passion into her job — this year’s film turns it back into passion, following Katie on a globe-spanning search for the unscripted joy that lives just beneath the surface of the sport.

• A Tradition 77 Years in the Making: Warren Miller’s annual ski film has been winter’s unofficial season opener for generations, and Days Off carries that legacy forward with the same spirit of stoke, humor, and jaw-dropping cinematography that built the brand. This is the pre-season party skiers and riders wait all year for.
• A Host Who’s Lived It: Katie Burrell isn’t a narrator watching from the sidelines — she’s out there with the athletes, uncovering the runs that never make the competition results, the friendships forged in backcountry lodges, and the powder stashes only the locals know. It’s the industry from the inside, with none of the polish stripped away.
• A World-Class, Globe-Spanning Cast: Days Off follows Sam Kuch and Craig Murray through the remote heli-skiing peaks of Alaska, Jess Kimura through the deep powder of Hokkaido, Japan, and Craig McMorris and friends skijoring in Banff — before landing at Deer Valley with Ted Ligety, Kaylin Richardson, Pep Fujas, Chuck Mumford, and more, plus stops across Canada’s Revelstoke, Whistler, and Pemberton.

Winter’s greatest tradition is back. And this time, it’s clocking out.
