Title: Baxter, you're skiing backwards!
Review: While "Snowball Express" is no classic, I have really fond memories of this film. It falls into that category of mid-budget live action Disney films from the early 1970's. Most of them are forgettable although they were fun at the time. I like to think that "Snowball Express" is a little big funnier than the standard fare. There are some clever jokes, and some truly funny slapstick here, all with a nice Winter theme.Disney stand-by Dean Jones does his usual work here, as a city man who inherits a big bunch of mountain, and decides to move his family and open a ski lodge. Harry Morgan (Col. Potter from M.A.S.H.) adds a bit more fun as Jesse McCord the two-bit mountain man leading him a hand.There are the usual hijinks; someone wants to buy the property, there is a snowmobile race, some backwards skiing. All in all this is an easy, fun movie to watch around Christmas time.
