The dust never settles after this Powder Explosion, the 4-DVD collection of outrageous skiing and snowboarding videos. The Good, the Rad, and the Gnarly mixes increasingly daring ski footage within a fictional framework to re-invent the standard ski movie. Part travelogue, part mind-blower, The Maltese Flamingo defies description as it chronicles 9 world-class daredevils on a global hunt for downhill thrills from Aspen to Val d’Isere. Time Waits for Snowman wraps 3 months worth of aerial, freestyle, and dirt skiing hi-jinks from Telluride to Jackson Hole in one unrestrained storyline. Finally, relive 30 years of The Golden Years of Ski Films from the daddy of award-winning ski moviemaking, Dick Barrymore. From thrilling downhill monoskiing at Bourg St. Maurice to classic Death Valley descents from 400-foot sand dunes, the video ski action has never been more spectacularly incendiary than during this Powder Explosion.

The DVD Maximum line is an exclusive video series presenting the best from independent producers and filmmakers in 4-DVD boxed sets. Look for other themed boxed sets in the DVD Maximum library, available from TOPICS Entertainment.

Includes the following

The Good, the Rad, and the Gnarly:
An unusual departure from the usual "greatest hits" compilations of ski footage, Greg Stump’s The Good, the Rad, and the Gnarly blends outrageous, increasingly suicidal skiing and boarding action with the fictional daydreams of our less-than-gutsy on-screen hero.
APPROX. 75 MINUTES

The Maltese Flamingo:
Avant-garde filmmaking meets extreme downhill footage when 9 skiers embark on an around-the-world trip in search of drastic motion. From slalom "tree skiing" in Steamboat Springs, Colorado to extreme tandem and triple-tandem jumps in Squaw Valley; Telluride cliff jumps to Tignes, France mogul and aerial competition, The Maltese Flamingo, from producer/director Greg Stump, takes flight. With special features including snowboarding action at Breckenridge, 400-foot sand dune skiing in Death Valley, and a wicked Hollywood Blvd. skateboard demo with Tony Hawk.
APPROX. 71 MINUTES

Time Waits for Snowman:
More crazy plot-based ski action from the wildest filmmaker in the business, Greg Stump. Time Waits for Snowman takes the viewer on a 3-month ski odyssey chasing thrills and spills including everything from Jackson Hole wipeouts to hardcore dirt skiing in Moab, Utah. Whether slaloming through trees and riding a helicopter to 1,200 feet on a quest for deep Telluride powder, or freestyling and performing breathtaking aerials off Breckinridge, these snowmen don’t melt under pressure.
APPROX. 54 MINUTES

From the dean of ski filmmakers, Dick Barrymore, comes this incredible collection of sequences three decades in the making! Culled from the amazing output of this award-winning pioneer, The Golden Years of Ski Films features 7 of the world’s all-time-best racers from Jean-Claude Killy to Ingemar Stenmark, and includes classic footage of powder skiing on New Zealand’s 21-mile-long Tasman Glacier, as well as a helicopter search for the Canadian Rockies’ best ski slope.
