It's your average promotional spot selling tires and an amazing car that offers grip beyond compare right? The skilled supercar driver pitted against the swagger of the snowboard champion in a race down the mountain in a challenge.
Eagle-eyed viewers, locals, or lovers of Loveland may be able to spot some inconsistencies. were also quick to howl disapproval:
Nicholas Winn - I'm at loveland every weekend and can identify 85% of these video snowboarding scenes. Here's a list of locations. ZigZag off Chair 3 / Terrain Park off Chair 6 / Auxiliary Parking Lot (Can tell by the dumpster in the background) jsmillie - love that random groomer锘� and rail in the "loveland pass backcountry" ThatOneKidThatSkis - I'm from the mountains of Colorado, and Loveland is my local mountain. The pass that she supposedly rode down is in a completely different place from where she was actually filming (for 90ish percent of her shots.) If you're gonna do something like this do it right.
While the internet is a notoriously hard place to try to impress people, they have a point. Coloradoans know our mountains. Even better, , so there's no excuse.
You can take a , there isn't anywhere to ski safely (groomers, orange boundary markers, rails, etc.) from the sign at the summit that would take you toward Loveland Ski area - unless you stick with US 6.
Tricks of editing aside, I'll admit that I held my breath when Rhys Millen drifted around the hairpin turn climbing Loveland Pass. As any other Coloradoan also knows, .
So to review, Colorado is mildy impressed - but don't try and tell us how our mountains work, OK?
