Kim (Felicity Jones) is 19 years old, an ex-skateboarder working in a burger bar for a living. When she stumbles into a 'chalet girl' job, she's completely out of her element on the snow and with the Madsen family; her uber-posh employers and their ultra-cool son Jonny (Ed Westwick). Kim just can't seem to get it right, and worst of all, she can't even ski. So finding a dusty snowboard, she begins to teach herself and realises her real talent is out there on the slopes. As Jonny and Kim grow closer, and the competition draws nearer, Kim could have the world at her feet - a chance at real love and at a championship title - but can she overcome the odds and obstacles to triumph?

Dry English humor, two Bills, a wacky Northerner, a not-so-naive lady, a not-so-blond blonde, and it's all bogged down in clichés. But why not? The mountains were beautiful: white, cold, and attentive. The mountain cabin was unattainable. The exuberance of youth was there, too. Jesus, why not? For me, a relaxing movie that didn't treat me like an idiot, and nothing here was over the top (the mother's resistance, the final reconciliation, or the snowboard drama). And if I was entertained and not bored, why not give it the 4 stars?
