Tough Sledding

They showed us this film the first day of the seminar.
It's hilarious!

  2. Well....you have to keep in mind the whole thing is satire.
    The opening scene where the guy is striking the gong is a parody of some English filmmaker.
    The guy who ran the seminar knows the group (NORAIR, the photo unit for Northrup) who made the film. He's been doing high-speed photography and filming of this stuff for almost 50 years now.

 Total snow was about 6~8", but half o0f it melted as soon as it hit, and we never had more than 3" on the ground at any one time....
