| Great chico flick film. Would love a sequel |
Original chalet girl comes on chalet holiday with her husband and kids 15 years later.... Spends entire week muttering to family that when she was a chalet girl we would never have cooked food like that, served wine like that, wear our uniform like that, be late serving breakfast like that, be hungover serving breakfast like that, had so much more cleaning to do and did it so much better - wipes finger acoss every nook and cranny looking for dust. Complains that the resort was so much better in the old days. Drags 15 year old equipment out of retirement and enters into some interesting conversations on chairlifts. Overcooks it on Jagers at apres.  |
...She's been bigging up how she once won a snowboarding contest to her kids but turns out despite their young age they are better then her and she then breaks her wrist trying to pull off a tindy straight air (horrifying all who uphold basic standards in grabs) and trips out on the painkillers. This allows them to replay all the greatest hits of the old movie in a dream sequence). Big finish is a flash forward to her kids winning International* Gold on the Downhill and her cheering in the crowd.
*They don't have budget/legal clearance to refer to actual Olympics. |
The prize for winning international Gold was to have one of the 6person chairs on the Rendl pimped up and named after them, the following season the family return in order to take some publicity photos, for their gram account, with their newly pimped 6pax detachable with seat heating and a tinted hood. In order to get the best light and the sun setting they convince the lift operator to let them have one last ride, unknown to them the lift operator is then distracted, and the lift is shut down for the night as bad weather approaches.
Trapped on the chair lift the family try and phone for help, but obviously there is no signal, realising that they will soon be late for apres the chalet girl jumps down, misses the tindy grab again and lands head first, trapped by her teeth, in the ice. Unable to help, the family watch on as she is devoured by snow and hungry hibernating marmots angry at being woken, and having the roof of their winter den damaged by the impact.
Overnight it snows nearly 2 metres of fresh powder and as the sun rises the rest of the family decide to jump in unison into the bottomless snow and have the sickest ride down to the village. The marmot video goes viral on Tiktok. After a thorough defrosting, some dental work and antiviral medication, against the nibbling marmots, the Chalet girl recovers vowing never, at her age, to try a grab trick again. |
It might be a bit pendantic but the original movie was set in St Anton and those furry little critters are usually known as Murmels locally not Marmots are they not ?

Why would writing 'marmot' be considered incorrect on an English website? Most  wouldn't know the word Murmel - though I think it might actually be 'Murmeltier' if being pedantic about the German name??

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Seriously? A brilliant plot like that and you're having a go at usage of the word 'Marmot'. If you had your way 'The Madness of King George' would have been called 'The Madness of George III' like the play (and confused Americans who would have wondered how they missed the first two movies in the series)

The Germans call marmots that? When they could be called 'die Grossetenburghamster'? You could properly shout that angrily when one rears up and makes off with your knockwurst.

@Snow&skifan, That is an old film and is available on Amazon Prime, but has no skiing involvement.

Or even Grossalpenbergeichhorn ! apparently related to squirrels, which cannot be pronounced with a german accent.

Rather strange as Guinea pigs don't like being in water.
