Storyline

Harkin Banks is a young Idaho farm kid who is also an ace at skiing. He is headed to the freestyle skiing championships in Squaw Valley, CA along with runaway Sunny. He meets his adversary in the form of Rudy, a self centered European skier who doesn't take a liking to Harkin or his new found friends, The Rat Pack, led by veteran Dan O' Callahan. Harkin has many misadventures with Dan and his buddies, but doesn't lose focus in his attempt to get the World Cup.—Pat McCurry

Short Review

This is cliche sounding but it's basically "Caddyshack" on Skis. Terrific 80's comedy that's aged like fine wine and i put it right up there with Animal House, Porky's and Caddyshack as among the best of the 80's. Young and energetic cast, great ski action, great music and soundtrack, lots of partying, drinking, mild drug use, and T and A. How can you go wrong?! Best watched with some friends and a fridge full of beer (preferably Coors heavy.) If you like 80's pop culture, skiing, sports movies, comedy, or "raunchy" comedies, you MUST see this movie. It's one of my favorites of all time!
