Can you hear that?

It's the sound of hundreds of people collectively saying, "Woah, that is so sick!"

That's right, it was the Portland showing of the new Warren Miller ski porn movie on Saturday night which is for us, the unofficial kick-off to ski season. We went with Geoff, Julia, Steve and Rhiannon and now (as if it isn't always this way), ski fever has struck the Hoybook household. It really needs to snow soon.

If you get the chance, and you like ski movies of-course, go see this new one, "Children of Winter." The reasons it is "so sick" are threefold:
1) There is a lot of footage of women hucking themselves off lots of crazy stuff. Normally, girls only make it into the tamer parts of these movies, but in this one, they got some of the best clips.
2) Adam from Guster makes several appearances and they even play a Guster song. Plus, he's a skier so I think that pretty much explains that.
And 3) There was footage of three guys who lived on a sailboat off the coast of Iceland for a couple of weeks and skied some amazing slopes right off the water. Skiing from a sailboat. Oh, my heart just skipped a beat.
