Speaking of skiing movies, Warren Miller who have created 55 skiing movies
set up a standard in this industry nitch. His first film was shot in 1950
and he continued by making one film each year since then. Unfortunately,
www.warrenmiller.com, which I assume
is the official web site is fully devoted to only one film.
It is the last film called Higher Ground. Other recent
Warren Miller films are: Impact (2004), Journey (2003); Storm (2002); Cold Fusion (2001);
Ride (2000); Fifty (1999). Many of these films as well as some film sets
are available at Amazon.com.
Here is a couple of other companies producing skiing movies:
Matchstick Productions
Meathead Films
The best place to get skiing posters for free is at skiing expos (see the
section 'Racing, Events' above). There, one can usually find
map-like posters, famous racer photos, etc.
AllPosters.com
has a big collection of skiing posters (not free though).
