Today on MSNBC
Sorry if it's a rerun, but I thought it was cool that they keep showing in on TV.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22425001/vp/29956882#29956882"Oh, no pics. To simulate the skiing today, walk out your door, grab a handful of snow, and throw it in your face. Repeat as necessary.
If you don't have snow outside your door, what the fuck are you living there for?"

Pretty incredible footage.
I'm sure somebody around here has to know the backstory on that.

what's with her stupid ass quote at the end. she makes it seem like it was he and two friends that casually decided to go skiing because it was a nice day when she has already established he is professional skier with a film crew and helicopter on hand.

pfffft meth addicts.
People should learn endurance; they should learn to endure the discomforts of heat and cold, hunger and thirst; they should learn to be patient when receiving abuse and scorn; for it is the practice of endurance that quenches the fire of worldly passions which is burning up their bodies.

Do avalanches make a sound when they start? I mean one that you can hear over your inner voice that is screaming 'OHHHHHHH SHIIIIT'.

Avalanches sometimes start with a big "WHOMMMMMPH" when they let go.... at least the ones on my driveway do. Originally Posted by SkiFaxon
