the Blizzard of Aaaaah....not ski porn, there actually is a plot.

Ski movies(porn) today are all the same...seen one you've seen them all. If you had to pay 10 bucks and there was no freebies would you actually go....if the producers themselves thought they were any good they wouldn't have to basically pay you to go see them.

There's a very enjoyable old war movie about german and american ski equipped troops. Not sure if the american troops are supposed to be from the 10th mountain div. but the movie is pretty neat. Can't remember the name. As a history fan that's one of my favorite skiing films.

It's probably the movie Ski Patrol that was released in 1940, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033056/. Anyway, I have been copying all my video tapes over to DVD now that I have a DVD recorder and found a copy of Ski Patrol, the comedy from 1990, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100631/, that I didn't even know that I had, so I watched it tonight. It had its funny moments and had a lot of good skiing, even some snowboarding.

Time waits for snowman. A Greg Stump movie from the mid 80's. My friend Jeff Coffin was in it along with several others from the mid 80's. A goofy plot and some awesome skiing.

I was watching "Hoodwinked", a CGI children's movie, tonight with my son and it actually had a 10 minute scene with forest creatures and people skiing and riding.
