Twenty five years after unleashing the ski film Blizzard Of Aahhh's Greg Stump returns to the ski film genre with Legend Of Aahhh's.

And Glen Plake and Scot Scmidt's pivotal appearance on NBC's Today Show where the word and concept of "extreme" exploded into the consciousness of mainstream America.
