Okay, so the other day, I was thinking, “Man, I gotta find some cool ski movies to watch.” I’m really pumped for the Winter X Games, they’re starting soon, you know? And I figured, what better way to get ready than to watch some classic ski flicks? So I started digging around, trying to find the good stuff.

First, I was searching all over, trying to figure out what was even out there. I mean, there are tons of ski movies, but which ones are actually worth watching? I stumbled upon this one from 1984 called “Hot Dog… The Movie”. Sounded cheesy enough to be awesome, right?
- I looked at some lists online. People were voting on their favorites, and it seemed like the 80s were a big deal for ski movies. Makes sense, the fashion alone is probably worth the watch!
- I wanted to find a mix of stuff. Some of those old-school, trailblazing films, and maybe some newer ones too. You know, get a good range of what’s out there.
- Then I went down a rabbit hole, reading about all these different movies. Some were about epic backcountry skiing, others were more about crazy tricks and park stuff. There’s really something for everyone.
I ended up making a whole playlist of movies I wanted to check out. Some of them I could find for free, others I had to, like, actually pay for. But I figured, hey, it’s an investment in my stoke, right?
I watched a bunch of them, not necessarily in order. Just kind of bouncing around, getting a feel for the different styles and eras. It was a blast! I saw some amazing skiing, some hilarious outfits, and some truly questionable plotlines. But it was all good fun.
Honestly, it was way more entertaining than I expected. It really got me hyped for the X Games and for getting back on the slopes myself. I realized that even though ski movies can be cheesy, they’re also kind of special. They capture the spirit of skiing, that feeling of freedom and adrenaline.
So yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to. Just diving deep into the world of ski movies. It’s been a wild ride, and I’m stoked to keep exploring. I’ll probably find some more gems along the way. Who knows, maybe I’ll even make my own ski movie someday! Haha, just kidding… unless?
Anyways, if you’re looking for a way to get psyched for winter, or just want to see some crazy 80s ski action, I definitely recommend checking out some of these movies. You won’t regret it!

It is good and funny.
