Summary: Great Movie, Poor transfer
Review: First off, I love this movie. Sure, it's a bit ridiculous, but I like the characters, and the skiing footage is great. I'd probably give the movie itself 4 stars, but the DVD production deserves 2 stars, at best.Issue 1: The video transfer is not very good. I did a side-by-side comparison with my VHS version, and the DVD image isn't much of an improvement. The colors are a little brighter, but the image isn't any sharper, and there is even dust evident on the DVD transfer. But what's worse is the letterboxing. I prefer to see all my movies in the original aspect ratio, so I was excited to finally see a widescreen version of Aspen Extreme. However, I was incredibly disappointed to discover that the 1.85-to-1 aspect ratio was achieved by cropping the top and bottom of the VHS image, rather than restoring the sides of the frame. Issue 2: There is no Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. As you would expect from a not-so-popular catalog title, it didn't receive any special sound treatment. All you get is the Dolby 2.0 surround. Issue 3: And finally, as you would expect, this title received no extra treatment in the special features department. Granted, with the ...price tag, you probably weren't expecting much, but if you didn't already know, this is the movie only. There's not even a theatrical trailer. In short, if you already have the VHS version of this movie, don't bother to buy the DVD version. It's not offering you anything you don't already have.

Summary: aspen extreme: great paul gross
Review: I admit, I watched the movie because of Paul Gross. Although the skiing was incredibe, and the scenery terrific, the plot was very poor and the potential for these actors wasted. If you like skiing, and adore scenery, this is great. If you like looking at and hearing Paul Gross being incredibly beautiful and incredibly earnest, as well as witty and charming, this is even better. However, as a travel brochure, it can't be beat, especially with The Poster and The Poster Child there!!!

Summary: Sweet
Review: I don't exactly know why, but I love this movie. Yes, the storyline has been done before - but this movie pulls it off by combining some great scenery, skiing, and music. This movie makes you want to quit what you are doing and go to Colorado for an adventure of your own.

Summary: Excellent and Inspiring
Review: I, like a few others, rented this movie first to see the amazing Paul Gross but I have come to love it and can't stop hiring it. I must have watched it at least 11 times. A great movie with gorgeous scenery (and actors).

Summary: Those are my clients....AZZZZHOLE
Review: Lot's of skiing, women that were hot in the nineties, and a little bit of cheese combine to make this the best drama of all time for skiiers. This movie teaches essential survival skills like exactly how to handle a French jackass ski-instructor if he ever blames you for stealing his heli-ski clients. What you do is offer to split the tip with them, then when he says with his french accent, "I don wan to split de tip", just slam your ski locker in his face and come up with an extremly witty comment, then call him an azzhole as you walk away.....brilliant!!
Also, what do you do when you've been invited up to the mansion of a European lady with enormous teeth and you search the whole house for her, only to find her her in the indoor swimming pool wearing nothing but the fur under her arms? When she asks if you swim you answer, "like a fish" and whatever you do don't take your clothes off. This would take too much time. Just kick off your high-tops that aren't laced at the top and dive in. When you come to the surface of the water, the hair flip to get water out of your face must be perfect or she may not invite you to stay the night. PERFECT!!
I look at Aspen Extreme more as an instructional video for these situations. Thanks TJ & Dex, because of you I now live in my van and life is sweet.
I'm kidding about all of this but it still is my favorite ski flick for sure.
