This has been a family favorite Disney movie since I can remember. I’m not sure why actually as this isn’t the greatest Disney movie but there are enough fun moments that it somehow caught hold in our memories.

The kids and I watched this again over the weekend and I realized how great some of the skiing stunts and action are. Disney regular, Dean Jones, is fabulous as the clueless dad. There’s some really funny moments and it’s got a lot of heart.

This is one of the lesser-known Disney films of the 1970’s so it’s definitely worth watching for the Disney completist. Just might find a hidden gem.
