An enjoyable evening

was spent watching the 1990 movie Ski Patrol. Old school hot dog
skiing and some pretty cute stunts and a fair amount of what
we now call "extreme" skiing, though most was just coming down
the hill fast with props.

Cute, funny. I noted that Robbie Huntoon was one of the stunt
skiers. A hometown boy, I skied with his dad. I note that he
is now located in the Truckee area as a real estate agent.

His mom was a hospital technician who came to draw blood on
a regular basis when I was in the hospital in Rutland in 1967.

God, I'm getting old!

Must be the season -
I watched _"Hot Dog - The Movie_" on the free cable a couple of weeks
ago. Lots of T&A. Includes a Chinese Downhill for Snowbender to study.

The stunts and skiing included lots of skills the current hotshot skiers
thinks he and his just invented, and are only possible because of modern
equipment. Oh well.

I think "_Ski Patrol_" is on the free cable list also, I should watch it
just for comparison.

I believe it's on DVD but I watched it streaming (free)
on Hulu.

Robbie was the stunt coordinator for the movie
"Ski School" which also came out around 1990.

But then you don't get to see it on your widescreen HD TV and you
can't use your surround sound.
