A few years ago 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.
