Ski and board movies have changed a lot over the years. First there was Dick Barrymore and Warren Miller bring skiing to the masses, but the movie that really changed the game was Greg Stump's
Blizzard of AAHHH's. No matter how you slide on snow, you owe a lot to this movie. It took ski movies out of resorts and took them to places that people dreamed of skiing. No more Sun Valley and Vail.
Blizzard of AAHHH's took us to the cliffs of Squaw Valley, the powder of Snowbird, and the steeps of
Chamouix. We got to watch Scot Schmidt, Glen
Plake, and Mike
Hattrup all ski before the rest of the ski world knew who they were.
Blizzard of AAHHH's is one of the few ski movies that has an underlying story and isn't just ski porn. It's still, to this day, the ski movie that most ski movies are compared to and judged against.
So if you've never seen
Blizzard of AAHHH's I strongly urge to go out and find it, it's 45 minutes that will change your ski movie watching forever.
