Three ski instructors trade lessons for liaisons in a Quebec resort romp that scandalized 1971.
SNOWBALLIN'
The slopes are freezing, but the lodge is absolutely scorching.
Three ski instructors are busy accumulating amorous conquests to teach, they spend more time in bed than on the slopes.
Snowballin' is a 1971 Canadian comedy-romance film directed by Roger Cardinal about three ski instructors who spend more time pursuing amorous adventures than giving lessons.
The SassyFlix Take
From the only après-ski party that needed a police raid.
Why Cult
Filmed and set in Quebec, this Canadian entry leans hard into the era’s snowbound eroticism.
Monsignor Raymond Lavoie’s obscenity complaint led to a police seizure and a courtroom drama for the film’s exhibition.
It’s not just the snow that’s bare—expect ample nudity, sex in the snow, and more risqué ski lodge shenanigans.
A bracing blast of 1970s erotica, complete with French music, polka, bubble baths, and snowmobiles.
