For those of you living in a box, the West has been getting crushed with snow the past few days. With snowfall totals totaling up to and over 80 inches over the past 72 hours in some places, and bases as deep as they’ve been all year, it’s time to break out the powder [...]
Two friends looking for adventure discover extreme skiing, wealth and seduction. Now they fact the greatest challenge of their lives.
Of all the movies listed in this countdown, “Aspen Extreme” is the only one that took a serious angle on the ski and snowboard world. As the story goes, two friends from Detroit apparently [...]
If you haven’t already noticed, there’s a brand spanking new section of the site we’ll just dub the “community” area. This section allows you to select your state of choice and drill down to find and offer rideshares (since we all want to save the environment, take cars off the road, and meet new people) [...]
