Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
This year, instead of bringing some crappy side of green bean casserole to Thanksgiving, I'm just going to just show people this video, which is way more tasty. Herein, French speed rider (that's skiing with a parachute on) Antoine Montant avoids a massive avalanche by taking to the skies. It's nothing short of thrilling:
Goo. That troglodyte brah in the middle sure called it when he said, "it doesn't get sicker than that!" In fact, I think I'll wear a 'chute next time I go to Vail: I'll cruise right over the Vista Bahn like a hero, land on the deck at Los Amigos and grab hold of a waiting margarita. Well, that or die in the process of trying.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
