-Trip Report- Killington: Skipping Purgatory (October 2010)

Nor'Easter Alert!

The L's are Lining Up

When Your Opinion Is Not Yours to Give Anymore

Warren Miller recently lost in arbitration versus Warren Miller Entertainment.
According to the article :

"The arbitration award, issued October 6, reaffirms WME's exclusive rights to the name, personal endorsement, voice and likeness of Warren Miller -- rights that WME purchased from Mr. Miller in agreements dating back to the sale of his film company to WME in 1988."
