Streif- One Hello of a Ride (2014)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This film is about the famous annual Hahnenkamm race, the toughest on the FIS downhill circuit. It takes place in Kitzb\u00fchel<\/a>, Austria. You can see the movie at the Red Bull web site<\/a>, and it’s probably the best ski documentary out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frozen (2010)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No, not that<\/em> Frozen. This one is about three skiers trapped on a ski lift in Snowbasin, Utah, after the resort has closed for the night. Enough to put you off that crazy run to catch the last chairlift before the mountain closes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low budget it may be, but it is definitely watchable and pretty scary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eddie the Eagle (2016)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you can take clich\u00e9s and sentimentality, you will probably like this story of Britain’s most famous ski jumper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SKI School (1990)\/Ski School 2 (1994)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\n

Judge for yourself whether the antics of a bunch of ski instructors, mainly filmed in Whistler, is to your taste. However the first of the two does enjoy something of a cult following amongst people of a certain age. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Extreme Ops (2002)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In what is probably not Rupert Graves’s finest outing, a film crew and three snowboarders go on a trip to a remote part of the\u00a0Austrian Alps<\/a>\u00a0to film some stunts. Unbeknown to them they stumble across the hideout of a thuggish Serbian war criminal. What could possibly go wrong? Although the ski scenes are staged as being on the former Yugoslavian border, filming seems to have taken place at various locations, including Verbier<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
