Ski Party poster

Released in 1965, Ski Party is a comedy and music film directed by Alan Rafkin, running about 90 minutes. “There's only one way to get warm!” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Remember the beach movies of the sixties? They're back! Well, not quite, but since Avalon, Hickman, and even Funicello appear in this one, it sure feels right. This time, though, read snow instead of sand and you got it. Ski lodge, to be precise, and though the plot is somewhat inane, with the boys cross-dressing to discover the secret of a friend's success with the girls, it's still a somewhat fun outing.

Who’s in it. Ski Party stars Frankie Avalon as Todd Armstrong, Dwayne Hickman as Craig Gamble, Deborah Walley as Linda Hughes and Yvonne Craig as Barbara Norris, among others.
