SheJumps co-founders Lynsey Dyer, left, and Vanessa Pierce

Watching Warren Miller movies had always been a family affair for me. The parents would annually take my sister and I to the local theater where we would inevitably smile from ear to ear as we watched the movie stars ski around the world. The same experience happened for friend and big-mountain skier Lynsey Dyer. So when the SheJumps co-founder e-mailed me while I was still traveling in Argentina and asked if I wanted to meet her in Sun Valley for her hometown showing of Warren Miller's "Off the Grid," I said of course. Now that would be a family affair. Warren Miller started making his movies in Sun Valley 57 years ago, so the tradition runs deep in the valley of the sun. Lynsey's family, her former ski racing coaches and her old friends were in the audience in the Sun Valley Opera House to watch the film and support the local athlete. The place was packed. Lynsey's introduced "Off the Grid" by telling us about her favorite Warren Miller memory as a kid. When she was 5 and sitting in the same exact theater, the crowd got so excited about the Sun Valley segment that they threw beer every where, much of it landing on little Dyer. That was the moment Lynsey knew she wanted to be in a Warren Miller movie; she wanted to make people that excited about skiing. Nineteen years later after a number of ski racing accolades, taking first on the North American freeskiing tour and filming for Teton Gravity Research, she debuted in last year's "Higher Ground" and was asked back to film at Big Sky with Chris Anthony and Mike Mannelin in "Off the Grid." Lynsey said the conditions were some of the scariest she has ever skied, couloirs full of barely covered rocks, aka "sharks," that could easily send you on a slide-for-life if you hit one. She and the crew were on the 11,166-foot Lone Peak, shared by both Big Sky and Moonlight Basin ski areas. Though in scary territory, the three skiers threw down big lines in the Montana terrain, which got a near record of 525 inches last season. Take the kids, take yourself and go see this year's Warren Miller film. Who knows, one day you, your kid, or a friend could be ripping it up on the Sun Valley Opera House's big screen.
