Apparently HBO films is going to tackle this hard hitting subject. I'm not expecting much.

The constant parade of "skier killed" sad story threads on this site make you wonder. Many are inbounds, though.

I don't know about you guys but I've only just stopped shaking off the adrenalin rush I got from making it home alive from another day of death defying backcountry skiing.

GOC: "as you fat-assed TV-watching Douchebags can clearly see in our documentary, backcountry skiing is way too scary for your Douchebag selves."

Leave it to Bryant Gumbel to do bad journalism, if you can even call it that. Anything he does is usually something that's hyped up beyond belief. Same goes with any non-mainstream sports coverage by anybody that spent time at NBC. Just look at how they deal with the olympics.

No surprise here. Move along folks.

Ron, that is an improvement over my effort
But, we're both still falling short of capturing full spirit of GOC


Maybe something about a Douchalounger ?
