The late, great Warren Miller helped create and capture the unadulterated joys of winter and the magic of skiing. This year, new and veteran athletes alike pay tribute to the man who started it all in Face of Winter, the 69th installment from Warren Miller Entertainment (WME), presented by Volkswagen.
In this 69th chapter, WME visits some of Warren’s favorite locations, from Engleberg to Chamonix, British Columbia to Alaska, Chile, Iceland, New Zealand, Washington and more. Watch as world-class athletes such as Anna Segal, Dash Longe, Forrest Jillson, Amie Engerbretson, Simon Hillis, Seth Wescott, Jim Ryan, Jess McMillan, and others carve the faces of remote mountain ranges and pursue the thrills of a life lived in high places.
“This year’s film is for anyone whose life (whether they realize it or not) was impacted by Warren Miller,” says WME Managing Director Andy Hawk. “We are all the face of winter—from the athletes to the audience to the locals in far-off destinations or even at our home mountain. Warren recognized this, and this year’s film celebrates that.” The movie premiere is promoted by the Snow Country Ski Club, formerly the Ironwood Ski Devils, our local High School Ski Racing Team. The club is no longer funded by the school system, so parents of racers, friends, racers and volunteers fundraise to help keep local youth skiers active, engaged, and competitive on the racing circuit that covers Upper and Lower Michigan and Northern Wisconsin. The club is very proud of its long track record and deep history. The local skiing community is strong and many of these long time skiers are Ski Devil Alumni. There are many fond memories of the ski devil travelling team, its successes and championships and its former long term Michigan Hall of Fame coach, Theron Peterson.
The Snow Country Ski Club partnered with us at the Theatre and with Warren Miller Entertainment to bring this premier movie to our ski town. This is a very important fund raiser for the ski club, and will help cover travel expenses, lift tickets, equipment maintenance, coaching, and more. So buy some tickets and bring a few friends to the movie and get your Stoke for Winter! Winter is coming!
Doors and Kelly’s Bar open at 6:30 pm (CST). Face of Winter screens at 7:30 (CST), but come early, hang out with your ski crowd and dig into the latest gear on display by our local sponsors.
Tai Chi has been proven to increase balance and prevent falls. The discipline improves joint movement and strengthens the core muscles as well as the legs and arms. The class is held on a donation basis. Wear sturdy shoes that tie, such as tennis shoes, and bring a water bottle. Please Note: There will NOT be a class on Nov. 5th.

As a lifelong Rhinelander musician, Paul will bid a fitting farewell to the Northwoods with an evening of his favorite songs and fellow musicians. His musical style is firmly rooted in “Americana” – a distinct mix of Country, Folk, Blues, and good ‘ol Rock N Roll. You may also know Paul from his Rhinelander collaborations including Slim Pickin’s, Ruckus, the Usual Suspects, Krazy Chester, and Me and Paul. After a long bicycle ride, Paul will retire in Cornucopia where he will devote his energy to the Society for the Preservation of the Winged Eel.
