Which means continuing to practice social distancing, wearing masks in highly trafficked areas, and washing hands regularly. So keep it close to home this weekend with an authentic Chicago Dog in hand, the perfect compliment to the freewheeling ski comedy, Hot Dog The Movie.

To keep the end of ski season vibes flowing freely, we've hopped in the Ski.com time machine and returned with a mountain artifact that hearkens back to the golden age of skiing. It was the 70's and people were letting lose, boundaries were being pushed, and ski style was becoming an exercise in creativity, no longer just speed. It was at this specific point in time that a movie debuted about a group of rowdy competitive "hot doggers" as each personality vies for the for the world championship crown in Squaw Valley, California. Rivalries with stuck up Austrians, steamy off-mountain romances, and a "Chinese Downhill," this ski classic is a reminder that we should never take ourselves too seriously as skiers.
