The ski school hotties from Arlberg austria are back with a new calendar for 2007. Twelve males and twelve females, more or less nude at the mountain. This year you can even buy skis with photos of the models, I don’t know what to think about that. Tasteful or just stupid, you decide.

Check out video below and the Freebord website for more videos and information about the Freebord.
