Directed by Mark Obenhaus. [1:32]
SEX/NUDITY 0 - None.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Several men are caught in an avalanche and they are thrown through the snow as it moves like a wave (they are all OK).
► We see a skier fall and tumble down a steep mountain (he's OK) and another tumbles and cartwheels down a steep slope (he's OK).
► A man jumps off a very high bridge, flips backward three times and then opens a parasail and floats to the ground safely. A man skis to the edges of steep drop-offs, jumps over the edge and opens a parachute. People are shown in many scenes skiing very fast down extremely steep mountainsides and performing jumps and tricks.
► We hear about people dying in skiing accidents. We hear that a skier died trying to help a friend who had fallen while skiing. We hear that a veteran Vietnam helicopter pilot had been shot down 13 times and survived. We hear that a man skied the Grand Teton and an avalanche started (he was not harmed). People talk about avalanches, falling rocks and other life threatening situations. A man talks about getting out of jail and going skiing.
