An ACTUAL movie about skiing

ive been thinking recently that it'd be sick to have a movie with an actual plot with actors and have it be shown in theaters. i hate how everyone whos into watching extreme sports always tunes into snowboarding instead of skiing, i dont have anything against snowboarders, nor do i think that skiing doesnt get attention, but i think a movie would really make the average semaritain be more interested in skiing. something along the lines of street dreams(which i havent seen but like the idea of) would be sick.

thoughts?
 
i watched one a couple weeks ago on tv. it was on at 3 am. ii dont remember wat it was called.
 
ive though about this too. the only question is would they get enough intrest from the general public and a big film company to make it happen.
 
no. u cant base a story on skiing. it would be horriable. the new mobvie thats coming out about kye peterson will be the closest thing. or even steep.
 
isnt there a really terrible ski movie that was filmed in whistler a few decades back? hahaha its always on TV and my dad told me how shitty it was back then. I have no idea what it was called but it had to do with aerials.

haha, not like ski school.

im saying more like the struggle you have in between choosing skiing or other important things, and which you choose or whatever. how frustrating it is with an injury or some other restraining force keeping you from skiing, and what its like being completely stoked on tricks, sponsers, comps, etc. just let the public taste what its like, and finnaly get skiing some publicity.
 
Imagine it: Will Ferrell makes a movie about "extreme skiing" hahaha, could be so epic.
Seriously though, I don't know what you would make it about. I mean, Whistler (TV Show) was bad enough.
Steep is probably about as close as you'll come to it, and some ski movies such as Reasons have story elements. I like having the story elements and the background behind the shots and situations, it makes it a bit more interesting. I would however like to see the story elements expanded upon though.
 
The only decent plot i can think of would be like a huge video competition and people winning it with a ski video and the movie is them making the video or something... idk just a thought.

 
There's skiing in this one too, complete with "That's why snowboarding is better than skiing!" jokes.

Yep, Out Cold is the shit, period.
I don't ever think a movie like that would work, and if it did, it wouldn't work in showing anything close to what NS would want. It would be for the average gaper, at any mountain
 
hahaha, i watched ski school for the first time the other day, it was pretty much a bunch of people hooking up with no legit plot, there was a triple thrown though
 
What was the Tony hawk movie called it was really old school

The search for someone? cant remember the title.

If thats the kind of movie your talking about.
 
woh, you'd make a terrible casting director. It needs to be someone who could convey but skiing is. Someone who skis can't do that. 1. needs to be black. 2. never has seen snow before. 3. urban poor.
 
woh, i went too far with that one. number three should be number one because the other two are implied.
 
They have Shane Anderson, Dan Treadway and Seth Morrison for stunts and the cover for the film was a border? what were they thinking?
 
i like the mcconkey idea, but also, i think just a movie about the history of freestyle skiing or something like that could be good. you really can't go for a comedy movie, because like others have said, out cold cannot be topped
 
or maybe they should just make movies that show more of the skiing life instead of skiing...i don't believe that the skiing itself is the only thing that makes us love this sport so much...So show more of the friendships, the epic adventures, the parties, the mishaps, the filming itself etc...and goddamn: make longer movies ! :D
