Video: STAR WARS Skiers vs Snowboarders
Star Wars is a guilty pleasure of mine, and as a child of the ’80s, I’ve been lifelong fan. Geek debates with friends over which character is the coolest, or which movie is the best was par-for-the-course, but one thing we could all agree on, is that Hoth is the most awesome planet. Why? Because…
