I'm not from Toronto, so don't quote me on this. Your best bet would be to check the appropriate tourist WWW sites. I believe there is a smallish skihill about 1 hour north of TO on Highway 400 around Moonstone. Failing that there's Southern Ontario's largest ski resort, Blue Mountain in Collingwood (Georgian Bay), which has several decent runs over a (I think) 900ft vertical drop. It's about 2 hours from TO, at least. Other than that.... I think there's nothing else.

We did have a couple of different threads going with AOL in the subject header in the last week or so -- we're slacking here, making it too easy to identify topic by header. ;) On that note, I really find it entertaining that NONE of the pertinent posts subsequent to chad's initial post on this thread has made it through the AOL newsreader. As I see it there are two possible explanations: 1) the newsreader is goshawful slow lately with practically all posts (quite true; that's why I've been emailing most of mine) or 2) the explanation I prefer: Steve Case is personally censoring amm-f, now that the Post has brought it to the world's attention that we are the net's leading AOL-bashing newsgroup!

Yes, Yes, Yes. Those are two of my favorite movies and a Moxy Movie like that would be fantastic. I'd even love an animated segment with a Yellow Submarine feel or an opening like in the Grateful Dead Movie. I can so see KOS as Dave's Dream sequence and having the movie take place with them working at the Video Barginville store.
