This film begins with a young man named "Jeff Forrester" (William Wellman Jr.) discovering that he has inherited a ski lodge in Lake Tahoe, which has certainly seen better days. Despite lacking substantial funds, he and his good friend, "Danny Frazer" (James Stacy), decide to renovate it in time for winter, hoping to earn enough money to pay off the significant debt they owe to a person named "Jordan" (Walter Maslow). With the help of some other friends--many of them female--they drive to the ski lodge and begin working on it. What they don't realize, however, is that Jordan would prefer to keep the ski lodge for himself, and as a result, he has hired two thugs to make things as difficult as possible for both Jeff and Danny to generate enough profit to pay off the debt. Instead of revealing more details, I will just say that this film was made during a time when "Beach Party movies" were quite popular. As a result of this trend, the location sometimes shifted from the beach to winter ski lodges to capitalize on that popularity, with the general plot, which typically incorporates humor and romance involving attractive young women, remaining largely unchanged. With that said, this film follows the usual pattern but lacks the necessary humor and overall passion to truly make an impression. Sure, several attractive actresses were cast, with Beverly Adams as "Jo Ann Wallace, " Jill Donohue as "Janine, " Linda Rogers as "Penny," and Judi Parker as "Dori" standing out the most, in my opinion. However, their presence wasn't enough to elevate this film, and I have rated it accordingly.
