SKI MOVIE REVIEW #1 - AUSTRALIS: AN ANTARCTIC SKI ODYSSEY

2010-11-08T06:12:00.000-08:00

"BIG lines and jaw-dropping terrain like nowhere else on the planet. Crazy!
The Real Deal - if most ski flicks feel like a dream, this feels like the real deal for sure. You can feel the tension when they get into the gnar, you can feel the hardpack and corn under your feet, and you might even get some stomach dropping action when then top out on the 'Buttress'."

I'm recommending these to my clients from here on out.
Fortunately, they have a line that will satisfy even the most discriminating tastes.
