A few years ago I while working at The Canyons, a local ski
resort, I would have shuddered and maybe shed a few tears of the loss of a pair
of skis. Sure, when you were done with a set you could turn them into some sort
of eclectic lawn furniture or fence, but never blend them to oblivion. In fact,
I wouldn't have believed it if someone would have told me a blender could turn
a pair planks into sawdust, but that is exactly what Tom does in our latest
episode of Will it Blend?.
This episode was a blast to shoot. Tom was really getting
tired as he manhandled the ski into the carnivorous blades. Talking to him a
few days after the shoot he said his hands were still sore from the abuse. I
guess skis weren't designed for a blender.
Random fact--In the middle of the video you may notice
something black go flying by. This was the plug that goes into the lid.
Normally it is removed when blending hot liquids in order to alleviate any
pressure that might develop, but in this case it popped off due to the violent blend.
You also may have noticed we actually cut a slit into the lid so we could slide
the ski in without taking the lid off. Remember, safety first.
