Read the transcript James posted. I agree with the Aussies that it's accurate.
I agree; it takes almost as long to read that novella-length transcript as to watch the video. Still (and we've discussed this before), it's much more efficient to read the content of a documentary-style clip than to sit through it. We've used former admin's Grand Adventure travel series as Exhibit A -- they're really well done and he puts a ton of work into them but I'm not going to spend 45-60 minutes watching the whole thing. I prefer an article with photos and a short youtube clip.
In any case, the b-roll of the ski areas showed me that they're more expansive/interesting than I'd presumed. If only there weren't so many dealbreakers -- the high cost of lift tickets, national park fees, lodging, and flights, along with at least 1.5 days of travel time and the risk of underwhelming snow -- I'd consider going there.
