...city is home to Asia's largest indoor ski dome, Yinqixing (Seven Silver Stars). With a slope that's just 380 m long, the $36 million facility isn't designed for serious ski bums. The steepest section of the hill is only 17 degrees, the snow feels more like Sno-Cone crystals than real powder and there are no lifts-just an escalator that takes skiers partway up the slope. Still, a Yinqixing spokesman says the facility has recorded 500,000 visits since opening in 2002. One such customer is Shanghai native Gao Rujin, who recently brought her 6-year...
...streak is interrupted, of course, when she meets Brosnan’s rumpled Rafferty, who also is coasting along undefeated. The prospect of losing makes her nervous. So nervous in fact that she devours a Sno-ball in the courtroom bathroom, a scene which the post-screening crowd in the ladies room decided was the most realistic in the whole movie.

Unless, of course, it’s for the linen-wearing, Birkenstock-shod, trust-fund-enabled sector of the population.

Cambridge is like a bizarre Pleasantville—safely generic, abercrombifiedly bland...
...These are the toughest jobs in the industry. The 94-man crew works and lives out of a mobile camp: 30 bright-orange mobile homes on steel skis, linked together in six trains. In a season they will cover 400 square miles. The men travel the North Slope in Sno-Cats with rubber tracks to minimize damage to the tundra. "We always used to be cautious, but now we are walking on eggshells," says Kurt Kinder, the Phillips Petroleum rep on the seismic team. But the tundra, like eggshells, is fragile, and once broken cannot be repaired...
