The film looks at the rise and decline of the regions small ski areas and tells the story of three surviving areas in Vermont (Hard’ack, Cochran’s Ski Area, and Northeast Slopes), which rely on community support, volunteerism, and yankee ingenuity to provide affordable skiing to local kids and families.

The Boston Globe: "The annual crop of ski movies are always filled with the usual steeps, stunts, and other death-defying acts that few of us in the real world will ever attempt to perform, so it’s refreshing to see that one of this year’s most promising winter films focuses on family and community rather than the surreal."
