The '90s ski film that made mohawks and mayhem mandatory.
SnoWhat? captures the outrageous mischief and skiing skill of Bad Boys Glen Plake and Mike Hattrup. SnoWhat? is not about perfect turns of monster cliff jumps - it's about the feeling you get when your skis are hangin' in thin air, your heart is in your throat, and you realize, with a big grin, that you're about to get away with it one more time.
Practical Effects
Death-defying stunts with zero CGI, all guts.
Production
Shot on real mountains with sketchy 90s equipment.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This film basically invented the 'ski bum' aesthetic that dominated 90s outdoor culture—Plake's fluorescent mohawk became a counterculture symbol.
Director Steve Winter shot most footage on consumer-grade Hi8 cameras while actually skiing backward himself.
