I used to enjoy the WM films in the right setting, at a show or in a room full of friends or family. To be honest, these days I relate better to photo and video ski stoke posted by all you friends and pen pals in internet forums.

Here's a few pics from this week at Snowbird and Solitude:

That must explained why I was never a big fan of ski movies. I almost never look at “rat” ski photos or videos either.

I enjoy the skiing as an activity. Watching others ski? Not so much.

I think maybe because jimk posted pics from Utah?
I'm offended by any pictures posted from a mountain with a vertical over 3,400. There's no need for it.

I loved the W.M. films. That guy Plake is a very good skier. Pushing the envelope, on the slopes and maybe after the skiing is done for the day. :cool:

In one of the films a skier jumps out of the Cannon Tram. Very cool, then I found out there was a landing ramp built and I felt duped.

Best Line from W.M. something like " A skier only has so many moguls in their knees and I hit that a long time ago".

Yep, that's the guy. I like Cannon, you never know who you're going to ski with. Before the Vancouver Olympics I hung out with the Austrian Women's ski team. Rode the lifts with one of them a couple of times. She could ski...
Strange yet true

So Unofficial Networks regurgitated Outside's artfully worded press release acknowledging they aren't actually filming a movie this year.
Yeah, basically they are making a clips-movie for the next two seasons. They don't want to call it that, but that is what it is.

And take what UN says with a grain of salt. Most of those folks are unpaid interns just posting stuff.
