Synopsis

Nominated for the Olivier Awards – Comedy of the Year.

John Godber takes to the slopes in this hilarious and insightful view of skiing holidays, complete with all the pretensions and frustrations.

Chris and Alison, Bev and Dave are all beginners – they’ve got the designer salopets, but do they have the courage? The sexy, athletically-tanned ski instructor Tony is eager to put in some overtime, while Melissa, on holiday alone, is creating one too many diversions.

Both on and off piste, passions are running high while the ‘apres ski’ brings nerves and insecurities dangerously close to the surface. Once the skis have been clicked into place, there’s no stopping this fast paced and highly exhilarating play.
