Top 5 Ski Movies Best of 2011-2012
January 12th, 2012 Source: http://skigenie.com/ski-movies-2/top-5-ski-movies-best-of-2011-2012/
Here are the top 5 ski movies of 2012. Check out the ski movie reviews, trailers, descriptions and cheapest price on the net: . #1: Attack of La Nina (Match Stick Productions) - $27.95
With the invention of the plastic ski
boot in 1962, they easily exceeded the performance of then state-of-the-art
leather ski boots. In 1970, the first Lange Girl poster
appeared with the moniker “Soft Inside.” The poster would be the
beginning of a seemingly endless line of sexy women wearing pretty much
nothing but Lange ski boots. Lange made ski boots sexy in a way that no one else could.
Girls wonder; "how do I become a Lange girl?"
In fact it is pretty easy:
You must be eighteen (18) years old, legal residents of
the United States at the time of entry and have Internet access.
Entries will be accepted beginning December 1st, 2010 and ending on January 14, 2011 at 5:00 p.m. MT
Entries must include a valid e-mail address for the entrant
Photos must meet the photo format guidelines in order to be uploaded
Here are some of the best of the past. I love ski boots....
It's the end of winter and now we wait impatiently
for six months. Instead of counting every day left till opening of next season, go out and do some other shit to make time fly.
Thing toDo #
White water Rafting
Something to do with your family.
Seasons when the water is high or low enough to be
to be able to raft but here is a description of a rafting
company that works on the Poudre River that is near Fort Collins, Colorado. Season -
May 15 to early August. Difficulty -
Class III and IV, (Intermediate to Advanced). High water is from late
May to late June. No experience is needed but participants need to be
active and strong enough to paddle
hard through rapids. Wetsuit rentals are available
and
highly recommended in May and June. Minimum age -
Varies from 18 in high water
to 14 at medium flows. http://www.awanderlustadventure.com/poudre-river-rafting.htm
Mountain Biking
Cheap if you have your own bike, but some ski resorts rent out decent downhill bikes for a price.
This is something that you can do all day without it getting old. Fun and fast.
or you could just end up like guy on his face.
Or if your in the right spot of Colorado, eat some DP Dough Cal-zones when your chillin.
Its that time of year to get out and try to fit in those last few days..
If your looking to use up those last day's in Colorado here are all of the dates of closer for resorts. But hey.. there is always Whistler!!

Still lookin' for that special ski that will do just about everything huh? There are so many different types of skies out there all doing a different thing than the other, salesmen tellin' you what to buy because it's what they want you to buy. Well I found a tip from unofficialnetworks.com that I can mostly agree on, this only being mostly because they are missing my favorite type of ski; the 2011 ATOMIC BENT CHETLERS (only because I own a pair myself) so check the link above to see the review from none other than the atomic company itself. =)
Here is unofficialnetworks.com top 3 2011-2012 powder ski's. ENJOY
Top 3 Powder Skis for 2011 – 2012 | Unofficial Staff Picks

Jake Cohn of Unofficial Whistler is calling the Salomon Rocker 2the “Honey Badger”
of skis. Jake goes on to tell us that he thinks the Salomon Rocker 2 is
“the best ski Salomon has made to date.” Jake gets free skis from
Salomon, so that might have something to do with why he thinks these are
the best skis ever made.
Atomic Atlas
150-125-132 @192cm
182, 192
When we asked Miles Clark of UnofficialSquaw.com about theAtomic Atlas
he told us that “the Atomic Atlas ski has the most Rargh!” Miles went
on to say, “if you are the kind of guy who likes to cheat, you will love
these skis. It’s just that easy to ski powder
on these bad boards.” Miles is an Atomic sponsored athlete so this
could be why he thinks the Atomic Atlas skis have such a high ‘Rargh’
factor.
Blizzard Bodacious

After a deep South American powder run on the Blizzard Bodacius,
Eric Bryant of UnofficialSquaw.com said that he “never in his life had
he had such a steamy nor arousing experience.” Eric is a broke college
kid who Blizzard gave some free skis to which might had added to the
“steam and arousal”.
Skiing big and going out to the beyond is a common feeling shared by us skiers and not understood by many. We all want to miss work or school to drive up and hit those big days when the snow couldn't be any better, leaving little money left in that bank account but a mind full of memories with the people who are there to shred with you.
If you live in Colorado your feeling the pain of little snow while other places are getting pounded. What of theses resorts have been rated for the best snow this year? "On The Snow" shows where the snow is at and the top rated resorts this year, this might help you decide what your next road trip is going to be this winter.
