Review of Aspen Extreme

Aspen Extreme (1993)
6/10
Aspen is my favorite Ski Town
14 February 2015
The movie has problems, and not really like "REAL" Aspen is. I have been to Aspen 25 times. 1st time there was in summer(before the Gondola was installed early 80's) and ended up being Jack Nicholson's Doubles partner for Tennis on red mountain. After that since early 80's I have made many 2 to 5 day trips to ski. along with the other resorts along the way from Denver) Got to ski with "Jack" again with Angelica Huston and Esme Marshal (A friends cover girl model girlfriend). I had some good times; (Met a lot of locals etc. I still don't recognize the OOB skiing they did, but then again I only ski on piste. Watched 24 hours of Aspen couple times live. It's a great town sort of a fairy tale place. Even thought the 2 lead characters acted like assholes and would not get anywhere in real Aspen the way they behaved, it was fun to watch. I have not skied there in 5 years and want to go back. Just seeing the Maroon Bells and all made me feel great. "Next year in Aspen"...............
