Great scene. I love the part where Duval yells at a junior officer “...what the hell do you know about surfing you are from GD New Jersey!”

Hilarious. The truth is S. Jersey shore has some decent surfing.

The resorts have the right to pat down their customer

When did they get this right? Does every single business in America have the right to pat down their customers? When did this "right" start?

People need to keep going Galt - you eff with me - you get NO money from me.

Especially TV and Hollywood as ALL of TV and ALL of Hollywood support Obama and Islamification including Fox-Saudia.

Can't have a repeat of the "Claudine Longet Invitational Ski Tournament."

Funny I live two hours from the slopes here in Colorado. I don’t ski much anymore since it has gotten expensive especially for three people and I hate waiting in line for the ski lift ! Anymore it is $300 or $400 for a day ! Also I have to put up with uppity snobs as well and I am not going to pay for that abuse !

I used to go to places like Breckenridge and Vail during the Summer and I talk with the locals there and many of them are feeling like they are getting squeezed out by people from California and East Coast who move in and change things for the worse.

I was in Vail last Summer in the Lion’s Head area and since they did new construction, I notice seeing a lot of women in high heels going around and men dressed in slacks and dress shirts. Out of place for the mountains. And when you see someone biking or skate boarding, these people get their panties in a knot as well by just seeing their body language showing strong disapproval.

Since when was a flask in your jacket against rules if you are of age? I haven’t skied in years, but I seem to recall bottles and flasks of booze being consumed openly. Maybe real mountain resorts are different from he cheesy Midwest slopes of my youth, where a few bumps were definitely necessary to provide a challenge and make up for short runs.

I never understood the allure of downhill skiing...which essentially can be boiled down to the following:

1. Find a guy who owns a mountain, or at least a large hill.

2. Pay him an exorbitant fee to cart your ass to the top of said hill.

3. See how fast you can get back down to the bottom of said hill.

Cross country skiing is much more pragmatic and enjoyable. You actually get a lot of low impact cardiovascular exercise during which you travel from point A to point B, and possibly get some hunting done between the two.
