Skinny skis.
Hot Dog the Movie? Hell yeah.
hot tub promiscuity… the only one that has withstood the test of time
Hiking up Whistler peak before there was a chair
Hot tubs for sure!!
Hot Dog’s Canadian-born star Shannon Tweed, hands down.
I was 6 years old in 1989, and kids 5 and under were free…. my first white lie was telling the ticket lady that I was “of age” for a free pass. So my choice has to be cheaper (free) lift tickets.
Tight one-piece suits.
Hot Dog the movie! You can ski on this side, you can ski on that side, but STAY OUT OF ZE MIDDLE!
Kick Ass Blaster!
Rear entry for sure, no brainer really.
lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng skis
Double Daffys. Thats the best part of skiing ever, no matter what era.
The only decade I actually skied in! I’m with Peter, double daffies were the pinnacle of my ski career.
My first ever holiday was skiing (in the 80′s)! Skiing changed my life ….and my bank balance….and the ratio of girls:boys…..and sense of fashion…..wish rear entry boots would come back………..all reverse camber skiers should be made to ski straight skinny skis and forced to ski moguls off the Peak!!
