Bump - I was getting ready to start one just like this! So lets recycle.

Sherpa Cinemas - All I Can. Though it is a couple years old now, I like it for the videography and all the cool concepts. There is an environmental message in this movie which I am not a fan of but the movie itself is cool!

Trailer

On another note: This grass roots effort looks to produce a pretty cool documentary - check it out for yourself!

I heard of the movie "icebreaker" that involves a bomb threat at killington. It's one of those movies that looks like it's so bad it's good, and I want to see how much of a nostalgia factor there is.


Anyone seen it?

Edit:just noticed somebody posted that on the previous page, albeit 6 years ago

Found the trailer! Superstar with old Yan chairs at 1:07, exploding gondola cabins, what more could you ask for?!

"If you come here for vacation, we're prepared to guarantee you have a great time, even if it means we have to take out a few terrorists" It's so corny it's funny! lololol

Well - now that I see these I realize that there are ski movies filled with stoke and no story, then ................. there are ski movies where they attempt to make a story around a ski area! Most are terrible!

Next thing you know they will be a Transformers movie with resorts as the setting - snowcats, chair lift terminals, snowmobiles and plow trucks transform to fight snow monsters.

I know you were being sarcastic, but I think that would be pretty sweet!

I remember going to see it in the movie theater, " it's a shame throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that!" Hilarious!!!

I made an uncredited (mercifully) don't blink appearance in a straight to video movie I'm sure nobody here has heard of called "Snowballin." During the filming they were using a working title so when Hot Dog first came out I thought that was our movie but soon found out otherwise. Years after I left Park City I stumbled across Snowballin in a video store and rented it just to see if I made the final cut and to see who else I knew was in it. Sure enough, early in I can be seen skiing past our hero just before he crashes into a ski rack sending skis and people flying and many yuks ensuing. I gave up on the film not long after that as it was thoroughly unwatchable.

I had a friend who was an unemployed bartender who showed up as an extra every day and had multiple appearance in this flick. He was telling me that they were getting a cat to go into the backcountry one day to shoot powder scenes and I should sign up as an extra. I naively signed up with Warren Miller images in my head of me shredding backcountry pow on the big screen. We went into the backcountry all right, it was straight to an A frame in the middle of nowhere which was obviously chosen to replicate a mid-mountain lodge at a fraction of the cost to shoot on PCMR. Me and my crew of surly locals had fun irritating the hell out of the crew, they did serve us a very nice catered lunch.

I've heard of that movie. I recall my parents renting it on VHS back in the 80s. We were just getting into skiing at the time and rented every ski movie we could find.

We only got part way through Sowballin as it was more soft porn than ski movie and my folks thought it too much for my elementary school aged eyes. :lol:

Lol, if they had just placed more emphasis on the "snow" and less on the "ball'n" they might have gotten a theatrical release. I've since resolved to chose my projects more wisely with my remaining 14:58.

You won't miss much if you don't find it. Just a 80's big hair wannabe starlet in lingerie. From what I remember it was probably more of the suggestive language that warranted the censorship of a young DHS's parents.
