Ski Party

In the bright haze of a Southern‑California spring break, a group of college friends trades palm trees for pine‑scented peaks, boarding a bus bound for an Idaho ski lodge. Their aim is part‑school project, part‑personal experiment: to uncover the secret charm of the campus ski‑club president and to prove something to the girlfriends they’re trying to keep close. The high‑altitude setting, with its snow‑capped slopes and cozy lodge atmosphere, becomes a playground where youthful bravado meets the absurdity of a vacation gone slightly off‑kilter.

Todd Armstrong and Craig Gamble are undergraduates whose relationships with Linda Hughes and Barbara Norris are anything but smooth. While they stumble through academic life, they’re drawn into the orbit of the charismatic, self‑assured leader Freddie, whose effortless appeal to the opposite sex fuels both admiration and jealousy. The two men, armed with more confidence than competence, set out to decode the magnetic pull that seems to make every woman in the group look his way, hoping the answer will restore balance to their own love lives.

The lodge itself pulses with a quirky, almost cartoonish energy. From the bewildering sight of an ice‑skating, yodeling polar bear to the eccentric lodge manager Mr. Pevney in his lederhosen, the environment is peppered with musical interludes, rapid drag‑switches, and a cascade of playful misunderstandings. The friends adopt outlandish disguises and dive into a series of comedic skits, each designed to expose the hidden dynamics that govern attraction and rivalry among them.

Against a backdrop of snow‑driven mayhem and light‑hearted romance, the quartet navigates a maze of love triangles, self‑discovery, and the occasional outlandish stunt. Their journey is less about reaching a destination than about learning the unwritten rules of teenage hearts, all while the mountain air fuels a tone that swings between slapstick comedy and earnest, if occasionally goofy, introspection.
