The dust never settles after this Powder Explosion, the 4-DVD collection of
outrageous skiing and snowboarding videos. The Good, the Rad, and the Gnarly
mixes increasingly daring ski footage within a fictional framework to re-invent
the standard ski movie.
Part travelogue, part mind-blower, The Maltese Flamingo
defies description as it chronicles 9 world-class daredevils on a global hunt
for downhill thrills from Aspen to Val d’Isere. Time Waits for Snowman wraps 3
months worth of aerial, freestyle, and dirt skiing hi-jinks from Telluride to
Jackson Hole in one unrestrained storyline.
Finally, relive 30 years of The Golden Years of Ski Films from the daddy of award-winning ski moviemaking, Dick Barrymore. From thrilling downhill monoskiing at Bourg St. Maurice to classic
Death Valley descents from 400-foot sand dunes, the video ski action has never
been more spectacularly incendiary than during this Powder Explosion.
The DVD Maximum line is an exclusive video series presenting the best from
independent producers and filmmakers in 4-DVD boxed sets. Look for other themed
boxed sets in the DVD Maximum library, available from TOPICS Entertainment.
