The best ski movie ever made, a classic ski comedy.
8 June 2003 | by (Wisconsin) – See all my reviews

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.
