      When the Baxters first arrive at the hotel, Johnny wipes the frost off the stained glass window exposing only the hotel name. When the window is seen from the inside about a minute later, where Johnny wiped the frost is not visible as all the frost is clear of the window.

      Jesse McCord: [after plunging through a snowbank into a mine tunnel] We dead?

      Johnny Baxter: I didn't want to be the first to mention it.

      Jesse McCord: Johnny, I hate to add to your troubles, but it's getting hotter.

      Johnny Baxter: [Whispered] It sure is.

      Jesse McCord: Must be that go-round I had with the widow Corzine. But heck, that was 20 years ago, and she started it.

    One of Disney's funniest and best!
    I have a well-worn, copied from tv version of this movie that I watch again and again. The cast is wonderful and the ski and snow-mobile scenes leave me laughing till I cry. Harry Morgan gives (in my opinion) one of his best performances and Dean Jones is in fine form with other Disney regulars making this an exceptional family movie. Could we please see a release in the near future?? Families need movies like these!
