The flow state is known by many other names -- the runner’s high, the groove, the center, the zone. In the flow state, it’s said, time goes slower the faster you ride, and you emerge improved, happier, more confident, and more aware. Few skiers and snowboarders get to experience it, and even less of us normals can get near it. The closest we’ll get is a Warren Miller film.

Through 62 different films, Warren Miller has offered the masses a most righteous magnitude of ski and snowboard action. The 63rd, Flow State, makes its Arizona première with a screening at Herberger Theater on Thursday, December 6. Hosted by Jonny Moseley, spanning the highest peaks of the globe, and showcasing celebrated athletes like Colby West, Chris Davenport, Jess McMillan and David Wise, Flow State throws down some of the most captivating snow sport footage ever shot.
