I wrote about this experience at length this morning over at Gadling , but definitely wanted to share some thoughts on it here as well, as it was one of those opportunities that rarely come along in your lifetime. Now don't get me wrong, it is quite possible to spot ...

The Adventure LIfe posted a trailer to a new film coming out soon called Frozen that looks both incredibly scary and silly all at the same time. The movie centers around a trio of young skiers and snowboarders who are off to the slopes for a day of fun. But when they decide to make one last run very late in the day, they end up getting stranded on the chairlift just as the resort is closing down for the week. (I swear I'm not making this up!) The film will then follow their fight to survive out there in
