When I was a kid, this was the best ski movie ever made. In fact, to this day, I still consider it the queen of all ski movies. I found this on DVD on Netflix.com and have it on order. I'm anxious to see if it's as good as I remember.
I'm gonna have a Blizzard of AAHH's ski movie party at the house when it arrives. Drop me a line if you are interested.

did you just invite the internet over to your house to watch a movie?
dug- yes, yes I did. it's going to be a huge pary of like 2 people.
Sounds like fun, reminds me of the Warren Miller movies I used to see at the Abravanel Hall in SLC to kick off the season in Oct/Nov of each year. How I wish I could get to some of the slopes they hit.
Hi little boy. May I come to your house to watch a movie with you? I'll bring some drinks for us (don't tell your parents.)
Dear Friendly Man from the Intenets: My mom and dad will be gone friday night. I promise not to tell them if you promise to bring candy.
Guide: "This is the couloir poubelle. It's a pitch of 47-48 degrees."
Scott Schmidt: "I'll hit it."
As I recall, Plake follows, catches an edge, and proceeds to do a cartwheel over the crevasse at the top of the apron. Or maybe I'm mixing my ski movie memories and Plake's cartwheel happened in a different film.
But I definitely remember the couloir poubelle. And imagining that I was Scott Schmidt the first time I skied the Baldy Chutes.
I'm game. Who doesn't like ski movies? I'll bring something to eat.
Plake is in this movie? With the monster mohawk? That's worth a watch right there.
Rick - I am in. Get ready for some neon ski outfits! And how cool was the Scot Schmidt Yellow North Face one piecer. I rented this last year from Netflix just for old times sake.

I remember "Hot Dog" being the ultimate ski movie when I was a kid.....
"You people... stay out of our way. You may ski on zat side OR on zat side, but stay out of zee meedle!"
"Hey, Rudy, you can kiss my a**. Not on zis side and not on zat side, but right in zee meedle!"
"Do you know what I had for breakfast this morning rookie? How do you say... I had Sonny side up, und I had Sonny side down, und I had Sonny side all ze vay around."
"What the f*** is Chinese Downhill?"
Rick, you provide the feed and I'll bring MY favorite ski movie.
Sweet. If you don't have to be a good skier to attend I'd like to go.
Let me know when the party is. What can I bring?
Question:
Am I the only one who thinks it's humorous that my word verification was (and I am NOT kidding) ............
"hyment"?
Can knuckle draggers come? If so, count on one more creepy guy from the webernet.
... and by the way tibiker, my last captcha thingy was "dicingob." I'm not sure what kind of gob my dic is in, but I don't like it one bit.
