It has come to my attention the Squaw Valley Institute will host a 30th anniversary screening of Hot Dog... The Movie. It was the 53rd most profitable film of 1984 but has yet to be released in widescreen for home viewing, much like Ski School. (Not to be confused with Ski Patrol. Do not watch.)
These are often listed among the best ski movies ever, even counting the multitude of documentaries by Warren Miller et al. Some movies like Better Off Dead, Inception and James Bond take place partially on the slopes. I suspect this is because it's not enjoyable for viewers to stare at a wall of of white for an extended period of time. Perfect for apres ski or snowless (in California) winter viewing, though.
