The inside story on outside recreation for South Puget Sound and beyond
Sunday, February 3rd, 2008
Posted by Craig Hill @ 12:24:48 pm

OK, you're probably going to spend the day watching the Super Bowl, but if you don't like football ESPN Classic has an awesome alternative.

ESPN Classic is airing a Warren Miller movie marathon until 5 p.m. At the moment they're showing guys in straight skis and too-tight pants ripping moguls. If nothing else, watching will make you grateful for your shaped skis.

By the way, I spoke to Warren Miller by phone about a week ago.

The skiing icon was in Montana and seems to be doing as well as ever at the age of 83.
