Pops (Ray Walston) is the longtime owner of an easygoing ski lodge, but its future is put in jeopardy by cutthroat businessman Sam Maris (Martin Mull). Intent on replacing the lodge with an enormous resort, Maris schemes to get Pops' lease revoked. What he doesn't count on is the mountain's madcap ski patrol. As the crazed crew leaps into action to save Pops' business, Maris begins to wish he'd never thought of building his eyesore on their winter playground.

Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness 11/21/2022
Sometimes, [a film is] merely to make entertainment, to bring joy (or mayhem) and then depart. That’s the best way to look at a film like Ski Patrol, harmless from start to finish, spreading a tiny bit of laughter before it goes. Go to Full Review Andrea Beach Common Sense Media 04/28/2015

Carlos I @carlosFibarra Sep 24 The ski romp was a really fun trend for a hot minute, but Ski Patrol is a totally inane entry into that genre. While it leans heavily on the tropes of the era: mismatched ski patrol teams, goofy villains, and a few obligatory ski-related stunts, the movie itself is pretty bland and flavorless. It lacks the comedic punch and memorable characters that made its contemporaries so enjoyable, instead delivering a forgettable and lukewarm experience that fails to capture the chaotic fun of the genre it's trying to parody. See more 03/14/2022 So it’s not often I give a movie this low of a review but man…. If Suicide wasn’t part of the movie I’d say 3 stars, but that character alone almost warrants the movie being half a star… Such a stupid stupid character!!!! See more 12/07/2021 Absolutely loved this movie as a kid. But kids are stupid. :) For this kind of movie done right, try Out Cold. See more 11/22/2019 Just a classic feel good movie for all ages. Watched it in 5th grade as a kid and then bam, it was on and haven't seen it in 20-25 yrs! Still a funny flick & classic! 😄 See more 12/08/2014 laughed twice, girlfriend loves it, i love her. See more 03/24/2014 Very funny for what it is. Extremely excited to see it on digital copy. Needs to be on DVD and or Blu-ray as well. See more Read all reviews
