ESPN’s Body Issue cover girl, Gretchen Bleiler, and Leanne Pelosi have made The Bleacher Report’s latest list – this time it’s “sports women who should have been models”.

Snow Park NZ – Snowboard Utopia
If you were young and insanely rich, this place is exactly what you would build. Snow Park in NZ is not your average resort. It’s exceptional, not just for the region but worldwide.

You can sit on the balcony of the bar …

Melbourne’s free newspaper, MX, carried a story yesterday on page 19 titled ‘Lift prices a ski-saster’.

He finished with “watch this space” which …
