Carving Out Community: Warren Miller’s SNO-CIETY Hits North Creek

Join the party at Warren Miller’s SNO-CIETY — ski-film premiere near Gore Mountain.

When winter drops into the Adirondacks, it does so with fanfare—and few traditions ring in the ski season quite like a Warren Miller premiere. On December 12 and 13, 2025, Tannery Pond Center in North Creek will screen Warren Miller—SNO-CIETY, the 76th annual ski-film spectacular from the master of mountain storytelling himself. For locals who live for first tracks at Gore Mountain or just want to bask in winter’s electric energy, this is the official start to snow season.

The story on screen.

SNO-CIETY isn’t your typical adrenaline reel. It’s a globe-spanning love letter to the people who make skiing and riding a way of life—from powder pilgrims in Alaska to terrain-park wizards in Finland, from alpine racers to après-ski philosophers. The film follows a lineup of world-class athletes and hometown heroes chasing turns from California and Colorado to Austria, British Columbia, and Scotland. Olympians like Daron Rahlves, snowboard icons such as Judd Henkes, and plenty of new names bring speed, artistry, and a bit of irreverence to every frame.

At its heart, SNO-CIETY is about more than the mountain—it’s about the fellowship that forms when the lifts start turning. The film explores the “why” behind the wax, showing that the true magic of snow sports lives not just in perfect lines, but in the shared moments between them: the chairlift banter, the lodge laughter, the sense of belonging that only winter people understand.

Warren Miller: the man who started it all.

No name looms larger in ski cinema than Warren Miller. Beginning with a borrowed 8 mm camera and a dream in the late 1940s, Miller’s work defined an entire genre. His early films captured the thrill and humor of skiing long before GoPros or drones existed. Over the decades, his lens introduced millions to the freedom of the mountains, spawning a community that stretches from small-town rope tows to Olympic podiums.

Miller’s annual releases became the ultimate pre-season ritual: a time when skiers gathered to relive last winter’s runs and plot new adventures. That spirit lives on through Warren Miller Entertainment, whose modern filmmakers carry forward his trademark blend of breathtaking cinematography, self-deprecating wit, and deep respect for the mountain lifestyle.

What makes SNO-CIETY worth the trip.

While every Warren Miller film promises powder shots and cliff drops, SNO-CIETY ups the ante with a distinctly social message. It’s a reminder that the snow community is built on diversity—different disciplines, different destinations, one shared stoke. Viewers will travel from bustling ski towns to quiet Nordic trails, from après-ski firepits to street-style sessions under floodlights.

For Adirondack audiences, the resonance is clear. The film’s reverence for small-town mountain culture mirrors life in North Creek, where a day on the slopes flows naturally into an apres-ski beverage at Tannery Pub & Restaurant, a meal at becks Tavern or the Log House at Garnet Hill Lodge.

The screening isn’t just a movie—it’s a rally point for skiers, riders, and snow-dreamers across the southern Adirondacks.

North Creek knows community, and Warren Miller knows how to celebrate it. Don’t miss this chance to see winter on the big screen—where powder turns into poetry, and every flake feels like home.
