GTFO. Is this a parody or are they really making a movie? Unreal. I would probably still definitely watch this :lol:

Will the sharks keep the wolves at bay the next time I'm stranded on the lift overnight?

Wow, good thing I ski on east coast hard pack also known as blue ice. There is no way a shark could swim in the east coast hard pack. After seeing this trailer, there is no way I am skiing in west coast powder with the sharks. You would have to be crazy to ski with the west coasts sharks when you can ski east coast hard pack and no sharks. :wink:

Vermont tourism should use this trailer in an advertisement. Something like ski the east hard pack with no sharks do not Ski powder in the west with the sharks.

In my mind, northern New England
I've skied with snow sharks before. Pretty unnerving but thrilling at the same time. They're mostly in the glades along with the snow snakes. They are most numerous in ski areas near bodies of water. Camden Snow Bowl and Saddleback in ME, Gunstock in NH, Stowe in VT and Owl's Head, Mont Saint Anne and Le Massif in QC have high snow shark activity. Skiers attempting to hit the dunes of Cape Cod after a snowstorm are most vulnerable. Because of changing water temps and the exploding snow seal population, inland ski areas like Sunday River and Wachusset have seen spikes in snow shark behavior.

Snow sharks are not man-eaters but most attacks are caused by skiers being mistaken for snow seals. When you see snow seals, just ski away carefully, avoiding violent thrashing maneuvers, and head back to the lodge. Call it a day and alert ski patrol about the presence of snow seals. Also, avoid skiing at dawn or dusk when visibility is limited and always ski with a partner. Above all, trust your instincts. Like in surfing, if conditions feel snow shark-y, head back in.

Lastly, just to dispel an urban legend: snow sharks DO NOT attack hot tubs. The chlorine in tubs is a repellant to snow sharks. Hot tub attacks are a myth created by Hollywood and irresponsible shark novelists. Because of finning and other human activity, snow sharks are in greater danger from humans than we are from them. The number of snow shark attacks are infinitesimally small as compared to the skiing population.

So, go out there and have fun. Be safe everyone!

:lol:

I've heard they are most prevalent in the glades, after heavy dumps. So for everyone to be safe you should stay away from there at ALL COSTS!!!

Stick to groomers and you'll be safe
