A few more things about Hot Dog the Movie. It's a piece of ski history. Here are quotes from a review written in 2016. https://www.outsideonline.com/culture/books-media/unofficial-oral-history-hot-dog-movie/
"It has a paint-by-numbers plot, loads of sexism and gratuitous nudity, and a screenplay full of tired racial stereotypes. It’s also the highest-grossing ski movie of all time.
....
What does hold up decades later? Surprisingly, the skiing. The stunt doubles were all freestyle veterans, several of whom went on to star in Warren Miller and Greg Stump flicks. “The skiing in Hot Dog was legit”
