Product Description
The King of ski movies tops himself, again! Jam packed with the best skiers and snowboarders ever, Cold Fusion takes you on a wild winter adventure: From the soaring peaks of mysterious Iran to the jungles and hidden glaciers of Kanya, and from death-defying cliff jumps into Switzerland's pristine powder to the huge gap jumps of Utah's backcountry. But that's not all! The athletes in Cold Fusion break two stunning world records! First, at the Nissan Big Air Exhibition, Matt Chojnacki breaks the freestyle aerial world-record with a quadruple twisting quadruple--a jump so technically difficult it has been banned by the Olympic Committee! Then, B.A.S.E jumper Dave Barlia, launches off the north face of the Eiger, flying through the air for a world-record-breaking 41 seconds before pulling his parachute! Running Time: 50 minutes. Release Date: 08/29/2002.

Cold Fusion is simply one of Warren Miller's most staggering documentaries. Released in 2001, this two-hour-plus film pours on (and on) a mix of remarkable action footage, breathtaking terrain, and unexpected exotica. Miller joins world-class athletes on four continents for extreme sporting that, at times, borders on the unimaginable. Join a pair of diehard skiers who hike through Kenya to ride what remains of an ancient glacier. Or gape at the Big Air Expedition in Winter Park, Colorado, where multiple "aerialists" (skiers who gain high altitudes in order to turn, twist, and spin upon descent) provide a cinematic phantasmagoria. (One of the film's two record-breaking events takes place here.) Superb chapters are also set in Verbier, Switzerland and Waddington, U.K., but it's hard to beat the incredible snowboarding feats captured in gorgeous Girdwood, Alaska, or a ski adventure in, of all places, Iran. --Tom Keogh

 The Best! January 10, 2008
The best of the Warren Miller collection I believe. The music and cinematography go hand in hand. This documentary will get you up and skiing in no time.

I watch this video on some channel on T.V. one night and knew I had to own it!
I don't even ski (or jump off buildings for that matter)but who doesn't want to watch guys doing amazing "oh my gosh! " EXTREME SPORT activities.
I loved the music too.
And the the way it was shot by Warren Miller.
I would highly recommend this movie to anyone. In fact I've already bought it for some...
 Excellent! I'm inspired... January 9, 2007

I've never purchased a Warren Miller film before and didn't know what to expect. After watching Cold Fusion, I'm now shopping for my next purchase. This movie features great skiing and snowboarding segments as well as some cool base jumping scenes. And who would have thought you can ski in Kenya? I'm not a big fan of harder music, but thought the soundtrack complemented the movie wonderfully. I had no "ghosting" or other image problems as mentioned in one review (note that the user was talking about a VHS, not the DVD). I didn't give it a full five stars because of a couple slower segments that didn't have much "extreme" stuff in it. It was still interesting, but personally, I bought this for all the big mountain and backcountry shots. I also thought the Nissan sponsorship got a little ridiculous when they zoomed in on the hood ornament. What is this, a commercial? Other than those couple of issues (very minor), I thought this was a great take and would recommend it to any ski or snowboard fanatic.
Outstanding! November 28, 2004

Blending music with ski/snowboard video and travel this is a must see. If you dont want to go to a mountain afterwards then you have no soul. My only complaint is that it is already geared towards people that already love to ski/snowboard. I would have liked more descriptions of the terrain and better shots showing just how steep some of those cliffs are. For people that have never skied this movie will be slow going at first but patient - it gets better. Again my only complaint is that it assumes people watching already know what powder and big mountains feel like. A little extra effort could have been made to portray that to the new skier.
