Description
When a hopeful young American hot-dogger goes pole-to-pole with an arrogant Austrian pro, the snow really starts to fly! But as hot as it is on the mountain, it gets even hotter off when the pro's ex-girlfriend (Tweed) sets her eyes on the new blood. Who'll win the competition and the girl? Only a race to end all races can determine which skier can really cut the mustard!

3 out of 5 stars Hot dogging it   October 29, 2008
D. Roberts (Battle Creek, Michigan United States)
If ever there was a cross between a party movie, a skiiing movie and Rocky, this is it. A skier who has been sacrificing his whole life finally gets his shot to knock off a world champion.

Of course, the main reason most people will buy this DVD is due to the bikini clad babe on the box cover (myself included!). In that respect, the movie doesn't disappoint. It has PLAYBOY Playmate of the Year Shannon Tweed as a rocky mountain high seductress. She sheds her clothes and the ski slopes are all the better for it!

The only problem is that the main girl in the film (played by Tracy N. Smith) is even hotter(!) than Tweed! Sadly, we only get a few tantalzing angles of her in the buff. Had it shown as much of her as Shannon Tweed, this movie would have easily been 4.5 stars in my book! Alas, we don't always get what we want in life.



3 out of 5 stars Good old movie   July 21, 2008

When it came out I was just graduating high school and I wanted to see it.


5 out of 5 stars Greatest ski-bum movie of all time!   July 2, 2008
tele-mon (Vail, CO USA)
This movie will make you want to move to a ski town, like I did. Loaded with great quotes, like "nice run, were you on 'shrooms or what?". The DVD does not have alot of extras, unfortunately, but still worth having. Awesome view of the "good ole days" of skiing, BEFORE snowboards!


5 out of 5 stars An Oscar-snubbed classic that's fun for the whole family!   March 23, 2008

Not on zis side, not on zat side, but right in ze middle!!!! This film was snubbed by the Academy in virtually every award category. Most grievously, it should have won Best Picture... for the following reason at least... it is the only film in history in which a man named Squirrel gets a BJ from a beautiful woman in a gondola ski lift! Add into that the great ski action and nudity, and you have an all time classic for the ages. It is THE gold standard in film! It features stunning action shots of masterful skiing... along with sexually perverted and staggeringly juvenile humor. Most importantly, it features generous portions of upper-body adult adult female nudity including gratuitous sex scenes that do very little to advance the plot! It's great! Anyone want the drink called the 'leg spreader? The actors convincingly portray professional ski champions. Our ski hero is the classic, talented unknown coming from the rural, country music listening rednecky parts of Idaho. Rudolph Garmitsch is a prick, and an formidable and egotistical Euro-villian you just love to hate! David Naughton plays a convincing hard-partying, good-at-heart older ski pro who acts as encourager to our younger American talent. Do I even need to mention the beautifully shot wet t-shirt contest at the redneck bar or the beautifully shot and intense skiing action that is the Chinese Downhill? Alcohol consumption occurs at parties, in bars and on the slopes, and fun shenanigans ensue! This is a true American classic that should have swept the awards ceremonies that year, but the snotty, stuck-up Academy wasn't ready for a film of this gravity. Shame on them. Shame on them! At least us true film autuers can appreciate the genius of it. Support this film by showing it to as many people as possible. Sooner or later, a much bigger chunk of world will catch on to what it has been missing! No more unjustified war for oil or imperialistic political control. Just booze, boobs, humor and skiing. Dare to dream for the best of all possible worlds! If you haven't seen this, get ready to live! Buy a copy immediately!

P.S. to MGM - Get us the widescreen version fast! Don't insult us with only releasing the full screen version. Stop with the full screen BS on any movie. We don't want to see our films chopped up, and non-widescreen TVs are going away fast. Most serious film watchers (including me) disgustedly turned away from the pan-and-scan crap at least 15 years ago. You brainless schmucks! Get with it!

My purchase was outstanding. I had been looking for this video for quite some time but no one had it. I was told by other place that is was no longer in print. I am showing my age because this was my life in highschool. Thank you Amazon.
