skipodcast I love 90s ski movies, they are so funny. I watched tons of them recently, Ski School, Downhill Racer, Aspen Extreme: all of them very much recommended. These days many people opt to watch ski lessons on mobile phones: iSkiSchool.com web site and iPhone apps instead of Ski School the movies, but I still enjoy watching them. The characters are naive in a way, but the whole concept of life in a ski town brings back the atmosphere of fun. I like Ski School because the true life of ski instructors is nothing like pictured in the movie, but it still makes you laugh. That's what counts, I will probably give it another couple of years before I watch it again, but I will watch it!

barrydomineyjr Sure, this flick would never be an Oscar contender, but does anyone really give a flying monkey! The important thing is that you can sit back, view this mayhem, and chuckle yourself into convulsions! Rising star of the slopes John E. Roland (Tom Breznahan, brother of Kevin and star of horror flicks such as The Brain (1988), Twice Dead (1988) and Mirror, Mirror (1990)), winds up in the infamous section 8, a collection of party animals led by Dave Marshack (a very amusing Dean Cameron - why this guy never became famous beats the hell out of me?), who is far more interested in beer and babes - who wouldn't be!!!, rather than being the saint of the slopes. Along with other members Ed (Patrick Labortyeaux, brother of Matthew) and "Fitz" Fitgerald (who equally matches Dean Cameron is the comedy department, who, too, deserves more these days), they set out to claim the mountain and win the annual event when they learn they're being forced out of their accommodation, due to their rowdy nature. Throw in some gorgeous females, most notably the stunning Charlie Spradling (wife of Jason London), and you have all the ingredients of a cult classic. Sadly, only Dean Cameron was to return for the sequel, due to financial difficulties. He, alone, makes the sequel worthwhile. So, settle in one evening, grab some beer and pizzas, then sit back and take in this madcap flick!

tomfrog What can one say, other than this is an all time cinema classic when it comes to the wide screen hitting the white snow covered sloaps. There had been so many attempts to show what happens on and around the sloaps, but this is one of the few that simply hits it perfectly. It was no fluke, as the sequel to this "Ski School II" is a classic ski comedy as well. Almost every comedy that has been shot since has been trying to copy the humor found in this film. It was not till "Out Cold" was made just recently has there been such a great comedy that has centered around the powdery sloaps.

Secret_Mojo_Man What a film! Great cast, great location, great jokes, great one liners and great women. This was the film that defined 2 years of my life in school. Sadly so hard to get hold of now in the UK but well worth the effort. Thats about all i can say. Go rent it with a load of mates and go on the piste!"We came, we partied, we conquered.... Lets dance"
