Aspen Extreme (1993) Reviews

Aspen Extreme (1993)
Member Rating:  
T.J. (Paul Gross) and Dex (Peter Berg) leave Detroit to wax up their skis and find an adventurous new life on the slopes of Aspen in this skiing drama. The two become instructors and take up residence in a mobile home, at first fulfilling their ultimate bachelor fantasy. But T.J. becomes torn between two women: a sugar mama who appeals to his materialistic side (Finola Hughes) and a local disc jockey closer to his own age, whom he actually loves (Teri Polo). Meanwhile, Dex's writing is not taking off like he'd hoped, and he becomes jealous of T.J.'s luck with women and effortless entrance into the glittery Aspen social network. Dex loses his job and tries to sell drugs to help make ends meet. The two sort out their various problems and their own fractious relationship against the backdrop of preparing for the big race, which provides Aspen Extreme its requisite quantity of skiing footage. ~ Derek Armstrong, Rovi

AWESOME. Best ski movie from the 90's ever.

Most skiing movies are about the same - crazy dudes partying a lot. This one, however, actually had some thought put into it - a plot, some big budget shots, and so on. I recommend it if you like skiing movies.

Even though this movie is early 90's, it is one of the best to watch. It has a good plot, good ole' buddies growing up in Brighton, Michigan. They work for one of the big motor companies in Detroit and ski/work on Mount Brighton. One day they realize there is more to life and go on their wild hair to be ski instructors in Aspen, Colorado. You have to appreciate the DREAMS and aspiration.

Best ski movie ever made, by far. The "movies similar" that pop up for Aspen Extreme do not do it justice. One of the only movies I have watched multiple times since I was 10.

A cinematic masterpiece highlighted by breathtaking views of freshly powder-blanketed Rocky Mountains and jaw-dropping action scenes showcasing only the gnarliest of skiing maneuvers, served on the side of a hefty portion of undeniable cheesiness that only the best 1980's movies can offer.

I got this movie so I could look at Paul Gross a lot, so the movie did not disappoint me.

In all its early 90's glory, aspen extreme is a fantastic old ski movie, beloved by hoards of ski resort employees to this very day. The difficulties of a midwesterner trying to make it in an expensive ski town are actually pretty realistic. The outfits are awesome, the skiing is sick, and the acting is even pretty good. What's not to love?

I liked this movie when it first came out in the movie theatres-when I was 13 years old. Now that I'm all grown up, it's not quite what I remembered. The lead actor isn't much of an actor. Unfortunately, Peter Berg (Dex) is the best actor in the movie and doesn't get the same amount of screen time. It left me wishing they had cast Mr. Berg as the lead and forced "TJ" into a pretty-boy corner somewhere. Somewhere far, far away. It was a much better movie when I was a kid.
