The most surprising aspect of the made-for-TV Ski Lift to Death is that it wasn't produced by Irwin Allen. Two ski-lift gondolas derail, hanging perilously close to destruction. Among the passengers are a former gangster and the hit man assigned to kill him. Also on board are a pair of champion skiiers who've been linked in a publicity-generated romance. Real-life ski champ Suzy Chaffee plays Maureen; the rest of the cast includes such TV stalwarts as Deborah Raffin, Howard Duff, Don Galloway, Don Johnson, Veronica Hamel and Clu Gulager. Ski Lift to Death was originally telecast March 3, 1978. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
The West German-made Benjamin is a comedy for skiing fans of all ages...from ten to twelve. A computer makes a horrendous mistake by choosing nebbish Phillip Sontag as the predicted winner of a ski championship. Not only is Sontag a complete loss as an athlete, but he's never skied in his life. The scenery is terrific, and the ski footage flawless; otherwise, Benjamin is much ado about absolutely nothing. Watch for several real-life ski stars, including Suzy Chaffee and Billy Kidd, in "action" cameos. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
