Top 10 Hollywood Ski/Snowboard Movies: #7 – Snowballing (1984)
By Adam Soldinger • Jan 7th, 2009 • Category: Features, Lead Story, The Wire, Top 10: Hollywood Ski/Snowboard MoviesEven though I never saw this one (I admit it), this relatively well-intentioned attempt at a sleazy 80’s teen ski flick has its heart in the right place. From the looks of the trailer, it’s basically Porky’s and Fast Times At Ridgemont High, both of which hit the big screen a mere two years earlier, repurposed on a ski slope. Even the head douchebag looks like Mark Ratner’s stunt double…
I’d be pretty surprised if any of your local rental stores had it in stock. But I just checked and it IS available on Netflix…amazing.
THE REST OF THE TOP 10:
#8: Ski Patrol (1990)
#9: Copper Mountain (1983)
#10: Steep (2007)
