Warren Miller's 2007 feature showcases stunning global destinations from Sweden to Canada, Alaska to Japan, and several others. Warren Miller's PLAYGROUND also exposes the most unlikely winter sports destination, a resort found directly within the Arabian Desert called Ski Dubai. Olympic Gold Medalist, skiing innovator and pop icon, Jonny Moseley, adds a new title to his resume as he serves as the film's narrator.

Highlights... This year's invigorating action display includes: a rare and insightful segment on ski racing king and perceived industry bad boy, Bode Miller; a trip to Alaska's untouched Chugach Range with X-Games Gold Medalists, and brothers, Zach and Reggie Crist; unbelievably deep powder in Utah and Whistler/Blackcomb; and astonishing aerial acrobatics from Sweden, and so much more. PLAYGROUND also highlights the future of snowboarding in a segment featuring the youth- infused Burton Smalls Team in which these young prodigies teach us that size truly isn't everything.

Music... PLAYGROUND is complimented with a high-energy soundtrack delivered on a state-of-the-art digital sound system and includes world renowned bands like the Beastie Boys, Maroon 5, Queens of the Stone Age and several other A-list recording artists.

Inspiration... When asked about the inspiration for PLAYGROUND, the film's director and producer Max Bervy avowed,
"The PLAYGROUND is a place where authority figures cease to exist, where fun and challenge are the only goals and creativity and freedom the only rules. This year we followed the leading athletes of the industry on a journey to a special place where anything is possible on the side of a snow covered mountain. Because, for more than half a century, we've found skiers and snowboarders in every corner of the globe ... and we found them all in the same place, the PLAYGROUND."
