From the outset, it is clear that the cover art lifted directly from our ski team "New Year's at the Beach" party:
The choice of cover art is peculiar in that bathing suits feature in exactly zero scenes within the film. Following this rationale, they might as well have included a couple more chicks and a Yeti.

Ski Ballet, originally invented by the CU Ski and Ride team, became popularized through Top Dog. In the season following the film's release it was almost impossible to make your way down green runs without encountering hoards of individuals practicing this new technique.
When we discovered that prick Lafayette kids had rigged the competition and won the Hunter Mountain Downhill Regional Cup we launched a full-scale ambush. The film captures the drama of war stunningly.
We decided that the only fair way to resolve our differences would be through a Chinese Downhill. The only rules: There are no rules. Every effort was made to replicate the detail of the actual uniforms used.
Rare actual race footage was made available to the stunt actors in the film. The scene itself required three months to shoot; given the danger to both film crew and stuntmen, the utmost level of precaution had to be taken, including the use of special harnesses and multiple 24 hour emergency crews.
No amendments had to be made to the conclusion; the real life event ended happily.
Of course, some things never change:
hahahahaha!!!! AWESOME
