Dog Days of Winter
The birth and evolution of freestyle skiing, as told by its legendary pioneers.
In the snowy mountains of 1960s America, hippie culture was hitting the slopes. Thrill-seeking skiers quit toeing the line and began carving out new, radical ways of making it down the mountain in style. They established an ever-growing community of athletes, living for the creative freedom and limitless fun of hot dog skiing.This look back on the origins and development of the now Olympic discipline reveals its carefree, no-rules beginnings, and the showmen who took this dangerous sport to the big time.
