This package comprises 4 films.
Blizzard of Ahhs (5 Stars),
Licence to Thrill (Nil Stars)
Groove Requiem (2 Star)
P-tex, Lies and Duct Tape (2 Star)
This pack has a problem. The Blizzard of Ahhs is just so much better than the other 3 films. Although it is the oldest and shortest, it's the only one that has been split into chapters on the DVD. The others are over an hour long which is much to long not to be split up.
Groove and p-tex are OK, but lack a certain something (in fact they lack Glen Plake, Mike Hatrup & Bruce Benedict). However Licence to Thrill is a major disappointment. The first song was used in Blizzard and so were the first turns. Of the hour plus run time only about 13 minutes is original material and we see every shot about 4 times, at real speed, then slowed down, speeded up and slowed down again.
For those skiers who haven't seen Blizzard of Ahhhs I can only say, do so soon. It sent me down the Zermatt mogul field in under a minute, turn, turn, fall, ouch, ouch ouch..... If Maltese Flamingo had been in this pack instead of Licence to Thrill I would probably been raving not ranting about this.

Groove opened my eyes to what skiing should be. It made me go to France after Uni. It made me quit working for a Big 4 Audit firm in Luxembourg to go and live some powder dreams. Finally you can have it on DVD, along with 3 other filmis which changed skiing in the nineties.
They are very late-80s / early 90s in style, but unmistakably cool all the same, and in their capturing of what skiing was doing a real historical gem. Incredible.

Listmania!
