Vail made this video featuring Lindsey Vonn working undercover at the ticket office. Sadly, only one (somewhat creepy) dude recognized her. The reactions after they’re told it is Vonn are pretty funny.
Longtime ski movie stud Cody Townsend teamed up with wife Elyse Saugstad, Chris Rubens and Dave Treadway to produce a fall ski feature titled Conquering the Useless. The trailer gave me goosebumps. Should be great. TRAILER: CONQUERING THE USELESS from Team Thirteen on Vimeo.
