This showcase for some of the world's most fearless skiers benefits from beautiful camera work, a thumping soundtrack, and a skewed sense of humor. Masters of extreme skiing, including Jonny Mosely, Shane McConkey, and Se... more »th Morrison, go hurtling down mountainsides so close to vertical that no normal person would think of skiing them. And of course the glorious footage, often shot from helicopters, makes it all seem absurdly easy. The genuine danger of this snowy showboating is illustrated in a segment in which Dean Cummings, while making a jump on a mountainside in Alaska, makes a slight error that sends him careening out of control. "I was dealt a pretty hard blow while tearing it," he comments, noting that he was lucky to come away with only a broken leg. A spectacular scene in which skiers are shown gracefully cavorting so high that they can look down on the clouds helps explain why people would be driven to such extremes. And for those who just can't get enough of a rush on skis, a comical sequence features intrepid and insane fellows who up the ante by roaring down impossible slopes on snowmobiles. Just about everything in Ski Movie is something you shouldn't even think about doing yourself, and that's what makes it so entertaining. --Robert J. McNamara« less

Ski Movie - The follow up to last years "Global Storming"
Scott M Toland | Los Angeles, CA United States | 09/24/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Ski Movie is not released yet. But last years DVD from the same company "Global Storming" is first rate Snow Porn! If the new flick is at least as good as GS, it's a solid "BUY" recamendation from this snow junkie. I give Global Storming 4 stars."
SKI MOVIE HAS IT ALL

"Jonny Moseley,Shane McConkey, Chris Davenport, Seth Morrison. This movie has it all. AWESOME locations, awesome skiers, awesome music.The prequel to Ski Movie really sets everything up. The entering scene is really cool, with Heart's "Barracuda". IT is an adrenaline driven film. There are not many chill moments. They are all chill, because it is all snowbound, but there are no moments to step back and ponder the movie. Brad Holmes is a great rapper, rivals McConkey in "Theres Something About McConkey". Also, "Brett's Song" is a great tribute to a friend felled by the mountain. To any skier, this is an absolute MUST. Just watch it, and you will be suffering from shakes and chills in these hot summer months, yearning for the cool mountain air and big powder flakes."
Best Skiing movie to date

"This has been my favorite ski movie for the last couple years, and is only beaten by the newer TGR movies. This movie is a much more extreme version of Warren Miller's movie (although "Fifty" was great) but without the constant commentary and humor. You can tell the movie is made by some great skiiers.All the skiiers are great skiiers, from Les Trois Philipes to pretty boy Moseley and Seth Morrison - no Tommy Moe or Picabo here.The soundtrack alone is worth buying, with bands such as Methods of Meyham (Tommy Lee), Crazytown, Long Beach Dub Allstars, Popa Roach, Sum 41, and more.Definitely THE first ski movie to own. btw- JP Auclair is sick."
WOW!

""Ski Movie" is quite possibly the best ski movie I have ever seen, this blows some of Warren Miller's work out of the water. This DVD is packed full of insane snow action. Scott Gaffney (director) also threw in some comedy to the movie making it a great mix. This DVD/VHS is a MUST HAVE for the true skier."
Ski Movie the ultimate footage of the new school era.

"Are you looking for a ski film that will give big moutain cliff drops, amazing jumps in the park and, smoothe rail slides this is the video for you. Ski movie combines a solid action packed ride through skiing evolution. There is plenty of big mountain alaska lines and huge BC cliff drops with super stars like JT Holmes and Seth Morrison. The jib footage is one of a kind with everything from Vincent Dorion and Johnny Mosley grinding rails downtown to Skogen Spranf throwing aley-oop flatspin 540's in the pipe. With a great soundtrack and loads of energy this is the ski video for you."
