"Blizzard of AAHs" Opening Credits - Greg Stump

[ohwhat2say2day]

One of the best written/directed ski movies ever! Can't tell you how many times I would watch this before my ski sessions to get pumped. It's a legacy ski flick for sure. Thank you all who put their creativity into this film.

[workon1t]

I think I see lots of Finnish design clothes colours here. They were made by Torstai not so far where I'm living.

[acghs]

Almost 25 years old and this still pumps everybody who views

[MartinMckaySkiing]

Fundamental movie that drove me to the Alps, setting up as a ski pro in Val d'Isere. Awesome old film.

[SPXclothing]

AAHHHH Yezzzz!!



[jamesmaccon]

I can only imagine what these guys in their prime could do with equipment we have now. Also it really makes me laugh when people say that snowboarding was what brought on freeskiing.

[theleftofnowhere]

Ummm, does anyone else get the feeling that "The Blizzard of AAH's" sounds more like a porno?

[Nancyra45]

How do you spell EXTREME? - PLAKE, STUMP, SCHMIDT....This Video put Extreme SKiing on the Map imagine if it was filmed in High Def! I met Plake at Heavenly's 50th Anniversary and he has not changed.....the original BAD BOY....the movie is now on DVD!

[FranklinMarshalSpain]

There were other movies before it, but this was the first that really gave us that look into what alternative/extreme skiing could and would become. So many of us remember watching this with wide eyes and realizing that's all we wanted in life was to ski like Glen Plake or Scott Schmidt. I'll never forget the first time I heard that narration, "Glen Plake...Ultimate Extreme Skiier...Original BAD BOY." Man, I'm going to go pull out the old VHS and watch it again. Catch ya on the slopes!

[SPXclothing]

Always a classic!!

[chaospunk423]

why am i on youtube watching clips of the movie i'm about to watch??? hahaha

[steaksnl]

haa who doesnt remember watching this movie ....OVER and OVER

[oceantides23]

This takes me back to being a kid! Glen Plake was my hero....and the soundtrack was phenomenal!!! It took me forever to find what songs/artists appeared. If you're looking for the tune in this clip, it's ACT's "Absolutely Immune II (Trevor's 12 " mix). ACT is responsible for some of the other songs in this movie too (3rd Planet, Frozen Faces, etc).

[Drshore120]

Best ski movie ever made with the two best extreme skiers; Scot Schmidt and Glenn Plake.

[rubbercoatedsteel]

omg, what could be better than the best ski film ever with an equally good soundtrack!!!!

[JFDI1]

Pete, if you are in the UK try Amazon, it is on a two disc box set, steep and Blizzard and only a fiver, bargin. I met Plake at the London Ski show back in about 90ish, was well chuffed.

[willbremridge]

@JFDI1my dad bought me this when i was 7 yrs old. thankyou so much for telling us where we can buy it i just went on amazon and bought it. its the most nostalgic film i could ever watch!

[peteholliday1]

Grew up watching this movie on VHS. Wondering if anyone can help me out finding a copy on DVD?

[ecotahoe]

I dropped out of freshman year in 1988 and moved to Squaw Valley USA. Best decision I ever made.

[TRaddcliff]

@ecotahoe

ha! i did the same....inspired by these movies. moved to whistler in 1991. and stayed up there for 6 years. the years JUST before they over developed it. best move i ever made.

thanks stumpy for the inspiration. and it was cool hangin out with you in tommy africas ;) party party with you and ace.

[willbremridge]

My dad bought this movie on VHS when i was about 7 yrs old. I'm a snowboarder now but this is undoubtedly the movie that got me absolutely hooked on everything to do with snow and mountains! I'm buying it on DVD immediately!

[canyoneagle]

Great memories..... It was my Senior year at university.

"ahhhhhhhhhhh"

[mbiastock]

Awesome. Bringing back the memories!

[Dylanedminson]

used to watch greg stump movies when i was a kid. this guys voice and the music brings me back to my child hood. thanks for the video!

[bigkatunas]

Anyone know where I can get the song " Blizzard of Ahhs" by Ted Musgrave and the G-Men?

[dillikins]

@bigkatunas You can't! I actually have a Ted M. and the G-Men cassette that my friend bought from Stump around 1990 and I'm pretty sure it has Blizzard on it. Best thing to do would be to just tape it directly off the audio output of your VCR/DVD player.

[tables92]

incredible music.. anyone nows the songs?

[bigkatunas]

Act, Ted Musgrave and the G-Men, Franki Goes to Hollywood. A lot of Act.

[a147pro]

the song in the intro is act - absolutely immune, seems to be an edit for the film itself. german 80's FTW

[dillikins]

@a147pro No, not an edit for the film. This is "Absolutely Immune II" (Trevor's 12") which was issued as a 12" single. Claudia Brücken is German but Thomas Leer is British/Scottish and the project (Act) was produced mainly by Steve Lipson (another Brit).

[barrigon1110]

OLD SCHOOL!!

[glassdave]

great movie, an they did it all on long boards. Bought my K2 Extremes shortly after this flick lol. I think they were 214's

[sandstpf]

Absolutely! Blizzard is definitely a masterpiece!!

[Ben1977820]

to bad they dont have movies like this anymore...nothing but snowboarding now (nothing against snowboarding) i grew up on these movies.

[Ben1977820]

I like it when the interviewer asked Glen Plake 'If you were an animal which one would be? "Me." lol

[SkiSavoie]

It doesn't get better!!! Including the ski god that is Glen Plake. Please forgive the dodgy one piece's, florescent ski bases, and the so bloody long skis......

[docter419]

greatest ski movie ever....

[djvirusmix]

please on spanish XDDDDD if somebody could help me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on spanish was LA VENTISCA DE LOS AAAAH

[tables92]

yo la tengo

[djvirusmix]

woooooooooo please i need that film, I had got it when i´m only 5 years on vhs but it gets lost. please if somebody could tell me where I could get it contact me please

[artemis7114]

totally a classic ski film. was 18 when it came out. my ski pals git psyched on a friday night watching and then ripped it up at whistler on the saturdays.

[badroo]

I can still remember how stoked I was when I managed to snag a copy of this VHS back in the day.

Watching it was like a curtain being lifted. THAT'S THE SORT OF SKIING I WANT TO DO. None of this cornball hotdogging or gate bashing.

Awesome.

[bigyun]

Brilliant...This is a movie that inspired my family and I to take up Skiing at Cairngorm in Scotland back in the late 80's. Schmidt, Plake & Hattrup...my childhood Heroes!!!

[pacificblueesprit]

the best ski movie ever, I used to think Warren Miller was good until I saw this...

[guitar4meandu]

haha. the title caught my eye

[dillikins]

Stump's movies are what renewed my interest in music. For years I'd visit every record store I could, from Paris to Sydney, trying to get hold of some of the music he used in his films. I've pretty much found it all at this point, but it was great fun hunting for all of those records (and discovering other music along the way). Oh, and Bob Thompson is still one of my favourite guitarists ever. His playing on "Good, The Rad..." is killer. Still waiting for Maltese Flamingo on DVD!

[tim80365]

Any chance of seeing more of this movie here....amazing soundtrack.and takes me back to when i did seasons in the alps !!!!

[EmanuelPaliottaVideo]

Hy. What's the name of this song???

[Drumbashertris]

It's a track called absolutely immune by Act

[EmanuelPaliottaVideo]

Thank you!!!

[dillikins]

"Absolutely Immune II", to be exact (one of a couple of 12" remixes of "Absolutely Immune"). I believe it's now available on iTunes.

[calo905]

Agree with all the previous comments, this the best ski movie of all time. While working in Aviemore in the late 80's my friends and I would watch it constantly for inspiration, which was a little dangerous as Scottish conditions were not condusive to the smear turn. It did inspire us to go to Chamonix next season, however it was the worst season in Chamonix for 20 years didn't snow at all in January.

[viddiewell]

Fond memories. I used to watch this and his other films all night, amping up to rip on my 204 VO-Slaloms all the next day. The closest I ever came to anything like this stuff was New Hampshire's Tuckerman Ravine. But, hey, a 50 degree slope is a 50 degree slope, no matter where you are.

Thanks for posting this. I miss those days.

[nwsurfrider]

LOVE Stump's films, they are what I grew up on - thanks for posting this!

[AsterixTG999]

Fantastic - absolute pleasure to see this. Takes me way back

I'm an old school extreme skier - used to blast everywhere on my 200cm K2 Extremes when I was a fit young man :)

Would love to find clip of Scott Schmidt skiing to Seal - 'Crazy'

[thephmackenzie]

Scott Schmidt skiing to Seal's Crazy (by the way, also quite possibly my favourite clip of any film of all time) is the very end of Groove Requiem, another Stump film. They're skiing out of the Tsaina Lodge, Valdez, Alaska.

[AsterixTG999]

Agreed - emotional almost :)

[thephmackenzie]

I should say, I got it in a boxed set on amazon for less than a tenner recently - the Greg Stump Foursome boxed set. Really good. P

[billcoons]

I have yet to see a ski movie as good as this. When it came out, it was all I watched and it even changed the music I listened to for some time.

[steverino333]

Still, I say to the young go out and rip! It is far better than anything you can experience NOT in the mountains!!! Ski HARD, Ski FAST!!!

[steverino333]

This is far and away my favorite ski movie ... ever! For two years, my buds and I used to wake in Boulder, CO at 5:30 each sat/sun and turned on this movie to psych ourselves, then tuned into the radio for the best conditions. Then, we drove to the mountain w/ the best snow and tried to emulate Plake, Schmidt, and the rest of the boyz. What fun we had! And, now that we are honing in on 50 what injuries we have!

[nukemforkhigh]

very very very very very very good movie of ski!!!!!thanks Ericjurg!!!have you got a little piece or the intro of maltese flamingo??bye

[font9a]

I'd have to say ripping down some narrow convex courloir is about the biggest stroker ever....

[chinacup2008]

What a classic. I would love to see a clip of Telluride's town councilman Rasta Stevie...

[460x]

Rasta Stevie rules! Long live Greg Stump. I can not wait for Legend of Ahhhs!
