Storyline

NYC-based copy editor, Alex, is sent to Ridgeline Resort, an extreme sports outpost, to write a story for a travel writing competition. At first, she fails at everything - much to the chagrin of Cole, an extreme sports enthusiast who thinks this city girl should head back to New York. But when Alex offers to assist Cole with his local arts festival, he reluctantly obliges to be her guide as she faces her fears doing one extreme sport after the next.

User Reviews

Pleasant self discovery adventure

Alex is a New York copywriter that wants to become a feature writer. Her boss has just introduced a cover story contest that might help her to fulfill that dream, but tells Alex that she'll likely have to step outside of her comfort zone to succeed.

So the city girl heads west to a ski resort where Cole, a reclusive extreme sports photographer she admires, is said to live. She hopes to get an interview, or at least experience the sports which inspire his work.

Of course they meet, she's a fish out of water klutz, but he's a social misfit that wants his foundation (which helps young kids experience the outdoors) to succeed. So they strike a bargain - Cole will help Alex try different outdoor activities on the slopes for her article, and she'll help him with his presence at his gallery.

One things leads to another with both gaining confidence, overcoming their weaknesses while growing personally - especially Alex - until her boyfriend arrives. However, if you know the formula, you can figure out how it will end.

Like most Hallmark romances, the scenery is postcard beautiful, and all the actors are attractive, so it's a carefree couple of hours of harmless fun.
