Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Blizzard of Ahhs - iconic ski line but

who actually tries to land it ?

Having watched it enough times it actually appears that Scott Schmidt doesn't actually try to land it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he was actually lunatic enough to even consider it a line but does he actually try to land it or is he essentially happy to have just avoided all the potential snag points.

Knobby the mohican, on the other hand, in my view, actually tries to land it. OK, it's a lot easier to follow someone else's line but still. Does Scott Schmidt actually even attempt to land it ? I don't think he does.

Are we talking the Poubelle or the Squaw valley line? Guess I'll have to watch it again....... Confused

Nickski,

As I recall the film, they tried to say that Plake goaded Schmidt into doing it and its quite clear that he can't land it once in the air...
whether he ever fancied it, who knows.

Still a classic film...

get the feeling it's much harder to land airs on skinny skis... not that i've tried it on fat ones either

Yoda, i'm assuming it's the one at the end of the chamonix segment, which is described as "just too nasty"

Yes, the one with the commentary
"Plake spotted this line which even Schmidt thought was a bad idea" and is indeed in the Chamonix segment...

Is this available on dvd? I looked at Amazon, but no luck. With the speed of connection here, it could take days to search ebay...
I had a copy on vhs but lost it.

Thanks, rjs just ordered from Amazon as "Greg Stump's Foursome", as Play would do Blizzard, and was cheaper, but wouldn't ship to France.

JT, that last line you quote is from the Squaw Valley bit. I'm thinking of the Chamonix segment from below the walkway, which I don't think they say Plake goaded Schmidt into (?) I'm pretty sure they say Schmidt spotted the line and Greg Stump thought it was 'just too nasty' as Arno, says.

 So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

Nickski,

You may be right but I remember Plake looking over the walkway to this chute and Schmidt going first and trying to clear the crevasse and landing on his side.

I must watch it again..

'Blizzard' is my all time favourite ski movie. When I started skiing in 1990 I got it as a package deal with 2 other Greg Stump films, 'Maltese Flamingo' and 'The Good, The Rad and The Gnarly' for £9.99 when I got a ski brochure (voucher in the brochure). I've never looked back since. (might have to get the dvd now as my VHS copy is all but worn out after 15 years of use.)
