The film stars Patrick Houser as Harkin Banks, a young and ambitious freestyle skier from Bonners Ferry, ID who is determined to prove himself in a freestyle skiing competition at Squaw Valley. Along the way he teams with a pack of fun-loving incorrigibles who called themselves the "Rat Pack" (whose leader, Dan O'Callahan is played by David Naughton), picks up an Austrian nemesis named Rudi (John Patrick Reger), and enters a love triangle with a pair of blondes, a young woman named Sunny (Tracy N. Smith) and the more mature Sylvia Fonda (played by 1982 Playboy Playmate of the Year Shannon Tweed in just her second major film role). The movie ends with an extended race scene, all of the characters take part in a "Chinese Downhill" race to determine the real champion of the competition. Prior to the Chinese downhill, Kendo Yamamoto asks "whata dafuka isa Chinese downhill?".
Janet Maslin, writing in the New York Times, gave a generally positive review, describing the film as "light and less moronic than it might have been."[4]
