I lived in Durango, CO when they filmed this movie. This makes it all that much funnier. You cannot take this movie seriously.
The avalanche is actually fan blown styrofoam. Half the mountains pictured in the movie, don't actually exist.
If you are a Durango resident, watch this movie for kicks. If not, don't even bother, you're better off watching the weeds grow.
This is a perfect movie for Mystery Science Theater 3000.
