While on his way from Idaho to Squaw Valley, California to compete in the World Ski Championships, "Harkin Banks" (Patrick Hauser) sees an attractive, young woman along the side of the road and so he stops to ask if she needs a ride. It's then that he learns that her name is "Sunny" (Tracy Smith) and she is headed to San Francisco. Since he is also heading in that general direction, more or less, he offers to drive her as far as he can. Not being in any real hurry and with few other options she readily accepts and together they finally arrive at the ski lodge where the competition both on and off the slopes truly begins. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I was rather disappointed with this film due to the fact that-for a comedy-it had very little humor. Likewise, the script could have also used some improvement as well. As a matter of fact, other than having two pretty actresses in Shannon Tweed (as "Sylvia Fonda") and the aforementioned Tracy Smith in various states of undress, this film was somewhat lacking in the entertainment department and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
