 Poster: A snowHead
|
Years ago (about 16 or 17 actually), I remember seeing a skiing video in a nightclub in Austria. It was about a guy being chased downhill by a gang pursuing him in various ways, each more extreme than the last. One that particularly sticks in the memory is him being chased by the baddies in a rubber dinghy which was bouncing all over the place throwing guys out all around!
Anyone know this film? I think it might have been made by salomon.
Cheers,
Peter

prthomas, I vaguely remember seeing a Warren Miller film that had something like that in it.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

This brings to mind when I was in a watersports emporium (a large barn) in kent about 10 years ago and they were showing someone kyaking down a piste. Totally crazy, but fun to see. Anyone have any ideas what the video was....or tried it?

I've been following the re-runs of Warren Miller films on ESPN Classis over recent weeks, and there was dedinately kayaking down the slope in one of the recent ones... Snowriders, i think ?
I also saw some people in Les Arcs a few years ago walking up the hill with kayaks while we were on a lift. We rounded the corner before they set off, so never saw the outcome unfortunately !

You know it makes sense.

It would have to be a minibus, can you imagine trying to book 8 kyaks on the plane to Geneva? Mind you, we could take the ski train but the transfer might be a problem!
