I like their crowd levels.

Pros:
Music
Lots of matching outfits
Firewood stacked next to gas fireplace
Barely noticed the sped up skiing

Cons:
No cameo by Dennis Rodman

Interesting thoughts on skiing/snowboarding in NK. They are right the vid seems more like a tourism ad than a snowboarding edit.
