The film stars Patrick Houser as a young and ambitious ski bum named Harkin Banks who is determined to prove himself in a freestyle skiing competition at Squaw Valley. Along the way he teams with a pack of fun-loving incorrigibles (whose leader, Dan O'Callahan is played by David Naughton), picks up an Austrian arch-nemesis named Rudi (John Patrick Reger), and enters a love triangle with a young woman named Sunny and the more mature Sylvia Fonda.
