Warren Miller's "Face of Winter"

If winter puts a smile on your face, it’s something you had in common with the late, great Warren Miller.

This fall, don’t miss Volkswagen presents Warren Miller’s Face of Winter, the 69th installment from Warren Miller Entertainment. Visit some of Warren’s favorite locations, from Engleberg to Chamonix, British Columbia to Alaska, Chile, Iceland, New Zealand, Washington and more.
