Has anyone seen this Canadian gem?

http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Snowballin/70082974?trkid=226870

We rented it because I had never heard of it before. I think it qualifies more as "porn" and less as "ski." Seriously. I think you probably get more out of it drunk or high, too. Seemingly random mish-mosh of scenes. I can't believe we watched all but the last 10 min of it. :eek: It may have been the nudity, because it certainly wasn't the story line that kept the TV on. :roll:

ETA: Read the reviews--they're good for a laugh. :lol:

My parents rented it when I was like 9. We saw it at the video store and thought it was a ski movie. Needless to say, they turned it off in a hurry :lol:

I've seen true pornos that had more of a plot and story line that this movie...

Here's some interesting things I found about this movie at:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0204143/


"This film was released on NTSC VHS videotape in North America by LES PRODUCTIONS MPA VIDEO Distribution in 1984 with the French title.....APRES SKI...It had a small distribution in Quebec and the French speaking areas of Eastern Canada and the northeastern USA....There is no DVD version......It was released in French Language with no English Subtitles.....It is no longer In Print and is rarely seen in French Canadian video stores.....the Ex-Rentals are generally poor quality and and the original tape has often been replaced.....Good luck in finding one with "Good" Picture Quality........It was released with a French language jacket with a drawing of nude skiers on the front......Directed by Roger Cardinal and stars Celine Lomez, Daniel Pilon, Robert Arcand....the run time of the North American release is 1 hour 44 minutes............Contains extensive female nudity......Sex In The Snow......Set in the beautiful mountains of Quebec, this rare 1971 Celine Lomez (@ 18 years) sex comedy follows the exploits of a handsome ski instructor (Daniel Pilon) as he teaches a class full of young beautiful women how ski, etc...................Another Alternate Versions for Apres-Ski (1971) released on American home video under the title "Snowballin'" contains graphic inserts of nudity featuring body parts from another different movie that do not belong to anybody in the original "Apres-Ski" movie.......Fortunately perhaps, this is the only appearance by the husband of Celine Dion (René Angelil) is a Quebec erotic movie....."

Gotta love how the Americans add the extra nudity for fun!
