Snowboard Academy -- This wacky comedy starring Joe Flaherty, Jim Varney, Brigitte Nielsen and Corey Haim promises an avalanche of fun.

With business sliding downhill and his insurance company threatening to revoke his license due to unsafe conditions, ski resort owner Dave Barry (Joe Flaherty) hires accident-prone entertainer Rudy James (Jim Varney) to be his safety engineer. Life at the resort collapses into chaos when Dave's sons' rivalry spills over onto the slopes, as pompous ski snob Paul (Paul Hopkins) makes it crystal-clear to his cooler younger brother, Chris (Corey Haim), that snowboarders are going to get a cold shoulder on the ski hills. Meanwhile Dave's estranged wife, Siberian seductress Mimi (Brigitte Nielsen), sets her icy sights on obtaining ownership of his resort. When Dave receives an unexpected visit from an insurance agent bent on closing the resort, it's up to Rudy to get the ski lodge back on its feet.

This wacky comedy starring Joe Flaherty, Jim Varney, Brigitte Nielsen and Corey Haim promises an avalanche of fun.

Corey Haim, Jim Varney, Brigitte Nielsen and SCTV's Joe Flaherty star in SNOWBOARD ACADEMY, a slapstick free-for-all about the riotous rivalry between snobby skiers and knuckle-dragging snowboarders. Haim stars as Chris "The Wizard" Barry, the younger son of a ski resort owner. When his out-of-control boarder buds take over the slopes, The Wizard's resentful big brother challenges him to start a snowboard academy that will turn bumbling beginners into race-winners in just two weeks. With a slapstick subplot about an inept safety engineer (Varney) and a scheming gold-digger (Nielsen), plus awesome airborne footage, SNOWBOARD ACADEMY is one wild ride!
