How gay did we make backcountry skiing look?

At the time, Windows Movie Maker was the only editing software we had available. So once we realized it's limitations, we went in a new direction and attempted to make the most "home movie" movie we could.

Need to change Title to "Brokeback Mountain".  ...wait, that's already been used. 

Seriously, you make us watch that whole thing and the only actual ski footage is traversing out?  WTF!

Nice shot! Yeah we were out there last spring and only got one good run in the bowls. Yeah it's a trek to get in there. I think that day ended up being 13 hours round trip.

I feel that starving, AIDS riddled kids in Africa would rather be where they are than in front of my computer screen watching that.
