Maybe partially because of this I’ve never really been a fan of my school’s Women’s Center.
I mean, where’s the men’s center?
I just don’t think we need a bunch of angry feminists screaming about tolerance.
What we do need are more films likePretty Faces.
I saw the trailer a few months ago like everyone else and was stoked.
I was not disappointed.
In short this film got me more stoked to ski than any other film I have watched this year.
There was no attempt to be deep and preachy.
There was no pretentious talk of pushing the sport.
There was no posturing of deep internal conflict while the epic music played.
Instead the audience was treated to well shot visuals of a bunch of ladies enjoying skiing.
They made it clear that the emphasis of their skiing was fun.
People complain that the level of women’s skiing is so far behind men’s.
I guess I just have a different perception of what good skiing is.
I believe the best skier on the mountain is the one having the most fun.
That means thatPretty Faceswas full of some pretty good skiers.
The stoke was infectious in every shot, it’s hard not to laugh and cheer watching this movie.
(ok, maybe not, I know I’m never going huck a double anything.)
Go give it a watch, even if you have to brave the Women’s Center to do it.
