The Power of the Internet

Like most people, I have momentary lapses of productivity at work, which is to say I avoid doing work for times. Thankfully I have the internet to help save this time from being completely lost. One google search with the words "ski movie music" and I've found www.skimoviemusic.com with complete soundtrack listings for several years of movies. Not bad.

New google search for 2008 trailers, and I find skifilmreviews.com who seem to be maintaining a great list of films so far for the 2008-2009 season.

Nice job folks, I'm a much happier skier now, and significantly less productive!

August Rush

It's that time again, trailers and teaser trailers are starting to pop up all over the web for the 2008-2009 season. While it's hard to think of snow in early to mid-August time frame, these videos certainly do a lot for getting myself psyched up.

Here's Matchstick Production's Claim (better resolution version at skimovie.com). Very exciting, and one of the best/most-fitting musical scores ever.

Jackson

SkiPressWorld is reporting that the cables for the "Big One" at Jackson Hole are now in the process of being set up. The opening is expected to be this December, and if all continues as planned it looks like that will happen.

This should help make any returning trip to Jackson Hole that much more exciting. Anyone have pictures? Would love to see the new clocktower frame.
