With essentially no music clips to be found you can enjoy our favorite scene from the film. Dean Jones downhill skiing.
It's Fractured Trees and Flying Skis! If only we had some more fun facts to soften the blow.

Was filmed in Crested Butte, Colorado.
We were pleasantly surprised that this movie was available on Disney+ with so little information on it online we were expecting to have to rent this one on Amazon or Youtube, but nope! It's available on Disney+ right here.
