Laurie Miller and her extreme ski filmmaker husband, Warren, kick off the Warren Miller Freedom Foundation after-school program for young entrepreneurs in Missoula

Warren Miller, famous as the maker of extreme ski films, turned 84 on Wednesday, but he was more into giving than receiving.

Miller and his wife Laurie were in Missoula for the unveiling of an after-school program that will teach middle-schoolers the ropes of running their own businesses.

The program, which will start at C.S. Porter Middle School in January, is the product of the Warren Miller Freedom Foundation http://www.warrenmiller.org/ , which Laurie Miller founded and runs.

Though Warren draws the crowds, it’s Laurie who provided the drive to bring the young entrepreneurship program to Washington first and now Montana.
