Hot Tub Time Machine Review now fully open.

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

My full review of Hot Tub Time Machine is now completely open. I password protected it and gave out the password as a spoiler. That password protection is now removed.

I figure most of you have seen the movie and if you have not seen the movie you don’t mind having certain aspects of the movie revealed.

Back in the Blackjack

Friday, March 19th, 2010

I skied at Blackjack last weekend. This was the first time I had been back to Blackjack in sometime, I would guess the last time I was there was in the 2007/2008 season. Last season Blackjack lay idle, looking for a new owner.

Boarder performs a 180 coming out of the pond

COOL TRICK!

This boarder is exiting the pond! He went across the pond and spun a 180° turn on exit, you see him completing his turn and landing it on solid snow. Very very cool!

Well, my brother bought tickets for my father, himself, and myself and last weekend we collected on that purchase.

The Philippine Ski Federation

The Philippine Ski Federation

Being we are all pumped up about skiing and paying attention to Erol Kerr of the Jamaican ski team (actually the Jamaican ski team) a buddy notified me of: The Philippine Ski Federation (PSF).

From the PSF website:

Philippine Ski Federation has been a member of FIS (Federacion Internacionale de Ski – the world governing body) since 1999. Currently, PSF participates in two to the 9 disciplines under the FIS, namely alpine skiing and snowboarding. Also currently, our athletes and coaches come from United States and Canada. We are the only country, without snow, that consistently sends snowboarders and skiers to the World Cup and World Championships for the last 5 years. Truly we are unique as a people and a country!

This is very cool, now I need to find a way I can support this effort!

No doubt, when reading message boards and various magazines it does seem like there is real conflict between snowboarders and skiers. However, most of it is in good fun and what is not fun is often hype far from the truth.

What is that truth?

MTV Movie Audition?

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Obviously, I strongly discourage you from doing this. Similarly, I would not suggest jumping into shark infested waters with a giant hook stuck through your mouth, nor would I suggest sitting in a limo full of angry bees and surrounded by marbles, etc. Still it is funny!

Hat tip to Gadling and to @SkiingExaminer via Twitter.
