Best Ski Scene in a Movie

Pre Season Activity: If you are a Comcast subscriber you need to check out A View to a Kill (Bond) which is available in HD for “Free” ~ On Demand until 11/30.

Invest the 10 minutes. The opening scene is spectacular. That should get you fired up for the season.

The release of the movie was in 1985. After my 3rd run-through it dawned on me that the snowboarding piece WAY before it’s time.

Q1: Did James Bond introduce the concept of snow surfing to the movie going public?

Q2: Is there a better ski/snowboard scene in any movie?

Stay Tuned,
