They were testing the best car in the snow on a budget. Not a very good test, but that wasn't really the reason I was watching. At the end of the show, they had a snowboarder race a driver down Copper Mtn in a Bentley Continental. Pretty crazy, especially considering the Bentley came close to hitting the snowboarder once.

I can't find the whole clip since it just aired, but the preview is here.

That snowboarder is Benji Farrow out of Ludlow Vermont. He is on the USASA team and rides for North Face.

I watched it- a good run for the Bentley. The UK version did the Bentley on a rally course, with a pro driver. Amazing to watch $200K and 5,000 pounds of steel doping a Finnish Flick.
