PLAYBOY ON THE SCENE:

COLD RUSH!

Instead of strapping on a pair of skis and waiting an hour in a lift line, try bombing the mountain aboard one of these new-school snow toys.  The success of snowboarding has made a slopeside fix more accessible than ever before; Vail, Tahoe, Copper Mountain, Sugarbush and other North American resorts have opened areas for nonskiing thrill-seekers.  Winter tubes, bikes, snowshoes and sleds are fun, but our favorite powder toy is a Sims snowboard (right) featuring adult film star Jenna Jameson.  "Ours are the only boards you'll want to sleep with," says the company.  Isn't it afraid that will bring on an early thaw?
Upper Left: A slick tarpaulin bottom and oversize handles help make the Sevylor Sno Pro one hell of a downhill ride ($75).  Atop the tube is a pair of Piranha snowshoes with titanium crampons, by Tubbs ($400), and Burton Snowboards' Liquid Lounger backpack/collapsible chair featuring a built-in bar for slopeside partying ($110).
Upper Middle: Sims Snowboards' Fader Vivid porn star series includes Jenna Jameson ($400, minus bindings).
Upper Right: The SnoXross combines a rear ski for speed, a front ski for steering and a collapsible frame for storage and hauling ($125). 
Lower Left: The revolutionary SMX Snowcycle looks like something Lance Armstrong would love--it includes a suspension system, an adjustable seat and handlebars, and shaped skis for snow carving ($525).
Lower Right: Mad River Rocket's motto "Get on Your Knees" says it all.  The company's Killer B sled with built-in knee pads and a quick-release lap belt is a sure ticket to riding serious air ($75).
