seeking suggestions for movie scenes of skiing and snowboarding

[Todd's keyboard]

Folks,

I've been asked to come up with a curriculum of teenagers and parents from China who will be visiting Vancouver in the winter. The trip is a combination of learning and practicing English and a lot of skiing and winter activities.

Since I'm not a skier, I don't watch a lot of skiing movies. Are there any skiing scenes that you can recommend from different films? Both adventurous and comic scenes would work.

thanks, Todd's no-wax keyboard

This.. right around the 4:00 minute mark.

Better Off Dead

This is kinda NSFW, but funny none the less.

Hot Tub Time Machine

For some silly 80's skiing comedy, Better Off Dead.
The last several scenes, starting at about 1:20:50.

There are a few skiing scenes earlier in the movie as well.

Roger Moore has this covered:

The opening of "For Your Eyes Only"

They not only learn to ski, but how to do so while drinking a martini (shaken, not stirred) and avoid automatic weapons fire from snowmobilers at the same time. A real modern cultural lesson.

Anything from the Warren Miller films if you want skiing/snowboarding scenes without a plot.

A few Bond movies come to mind - the opening sequence of The Spy Who Loved Me is great. For Your Eyes Only as well has a few choice skiing scenes while Bond is being chased by an Olympic Biathalon competitor and his goons.

For more risque scenes, try Hot Dog: The Movie. The Chinese Downhill is classic.

Edit: Great minds think alike - re: Bond. James Bond.

Asspen, a South Park episode http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0705895/?ref_=ttep_ep2

The Pink Panther (original version) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057413/?ref_=nv_sr_2

Some of the earlier Bond movies had a lot of skiing where Bond gets shot at while on skis

EDIT: Heh! Missed it by THAT much with the Bond movies.

Cute Disney Channel movie, mostly snowboarding and coming of age / high school drama, Hawaiian surfing ninja kind of thing.
