This is the song that was playing when I skied this run and I just felt that I should make a little video. Cinematography is horrible but you get the idea, I did get the two trees I hit though! It was a pretty epic April Fools day. Mostly though, this is to make Reed mad, he was doing homework or something stupid like that. Haha Reed, you fool.
