Ski School

These first Ski School alone is difficult to sit through sober, the cheese factor is absolutely through the roof. I can't imagine any sane person watching both of this and Ski School 2 back to back. I recently watched this in a moment of nostalgia, and realized I had absolutely terrible taste in movies as teen. Even thought this came out at the beginning of the 90's, the stench of the late 80's had not completely died yet. And since the first film was shot in the very tail end of the 1989, you could technically call it an 80's movie. But even that's a hard sell, because that would mean you also consider this to be an actual movie when in reality it is just a brain-cell-destroying debacle of cliche slinging corn ball humor smothered in neon colored cheese.

This is movie is probably generation-specific; I'll bet you could appreciate it much more if you saw it in it's day. Seeing it today, it comes across as innocent and light-hearted rather than laugh-out-loud funny. It's geared towards the slacker mentality of the early 90s: partying, goofing off and women.

In the movie, there are basically two ski school groups who are at odds with each other: rich/elitist/serious skiers and slacker/party-focused lunatics. They use the Whistler Pageant competition to determine which group should remain at the resort and which should go.

The film is clearly geared to high-school males. There's beer, nudity and lots of girls (none of which have any real speaking roles). There are a few colorful ski scenes which are interspersed throughout the movie, but the it mainly takes place indoors than on the slope.

It may appeal to you if you're looking for a light-hearted teen-party movie (and moreso if you like ski themes). Otherwise, there's no point in seeing it.

I love this movie and I think dean Cameron doesnt get enough respect for his acting hes funny as hell. I totally agree this is an awesome ski movie but as far as the best Id have to go with HOT DOG. But still a great movie part one and two

Ski School takes it's partying seriously!

Perhaps the third best "Beer" movie ever behind "Strange Brew" and "Beerfest". It's not a ski movie - it's a beer movie:)

"its not how far you go....but how go you far." Section 8 won't quit until they've drank every case on the mountain. There's a nice little drama piece when a beer spills....and the nerds versus Jocks thing works nicely....this has got to be scored higher....I think I'm gonna start a petition for a higher SKi School score. This isn't rocket science...and there won't be any academy awards(although Cameron is GENUINELY funny here)..... If you want a FUNNY movie about beerests...this is it. Grab a case of High Life and this movie off the shelf and it's twenty bucks well spent. 57/100

You'll like it if you liked: Beerfest, Hot Dog:The Movie, Strange Brew, Hot Tub Time Machine, and Up the Creek.

It's a great movie for everyone who likes comedy. Two groups battle against each other both on and of the mountain. Reid Janssens, one of the leaders of a ski-class (section 1) takes skiing real serious and is sometimes an ego-maniac when it comes to teaching how to ski. The other leader (section 8) is Dave Marshak. The only thing he teaches to his class is partying and that ski-school is not learning how to ski. Reid wants to be King of the Mountain and is willing to take any risk to get rid of Dave. Dave on the other hand is setting up scenes to make section 1 like a couple of fools. The beautiful surroundings and, of course, the pretty women make this movie complete. I bought the video on sale and saw it more then 15 times, I guess. But it's still a great movie!
