Panos Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Ha ha, funny! I just watched "Steep" yesterday night. Some (but not all) of these guys sound mentally deprived. Alaska looked nice though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hafilax Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I just watched Steep recently too. It was pretty good but I didn't find it as interesting as Riding Giants which is a similar treatment of big wave surfing. It was interesting to see the evolution of the big mountain turn going from the survival hop to the big sweeping turns that are popular now. The avalanche at the end was freaky.

AlpineK Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Everything you'll ever need to know about how to ski can be ascertained by repeatedly watching 'Hot Dog', 'Alpine Extreme', and 'There's Something About McConkey'. This is about the best advice so far on learning to ski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panos Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) Okay! Let's close this post here PM me if you have any good instructor in mind who can provide (sporadicly) 2-hour lessons at Alpental. Thank you folks.
