Save your money for something good and enjoyable

One of my all time favorites.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

An explosion produces an avalanche which cause the legendary Stook-um snow sharks to come back and protect the mountain. With Spring Break officially in progress, the authorities don't want to make waves about missing kids. As the body count mounts, more kids go hunting Stook-um.This is a Canadian film shot in California. The acting and dialogue were fairly lame, except for maybe the old guy. The shark is CG. We do get to see half bodies and blood.While there are girls in bikinis in a hot tub, there is no bikini contest as claimed by the DVD description.Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex or nudity. Just some Canadian attempt at cheese.

SyFy creature feature too hard to make yourself believe. Tons of die hard young skiers and snowboarders are ready to party, because once again it it Bikini Ski Day at Mammoth Mountain. Just imagine prehistoric and bloodthirsty snow sharks are awaken and freed by an avalanche. Special effects are as cheesy as the story line.Members of the cast include: Kate Nauta, Kellie Cantwell, Alexander Mendeluk, Erin Ross, Emily Addison, Eric Scott Woods and Benjamin Easterday.

Ah, sharks… Once upon a time they were considered the most fearsome and menacing real-life monsters of the horror movie industry. In the 70s almost everyone was afraid to go into the water thanks to the impact of a certain shark film classic. In the 80s the success of "Jaws" got plagiarized endlessly and all types of crazy sea monsters emerged from the depths. In the late 90s/early 2000s practically all shark movies sucked ("Deep Blue Sea", "Shark Attack") but at least they dealt with traditional types of sharks. Somewhere in the new millennium, however, the whole sub-genre derailed entirely. Shark movies have turned into a playground for lousy and deliberately fake-looking digital effects and there seemingly exists some sort of competition among bad production companies about who can come up with the most ridicule and grotesque concept. If this really is a contest, I've seen many potential winners already: "Two-Headed Shark Attack", "Sharktopus", "Sand Sharks", "Dinoshark" and – of course – those imbecilic "Sharknado" movies. Obviously you can't be too skeptical when you're reviewing this type of shark movies, because you very well know in advance what you're getting. Same goes for this title. If you don't want to get irritated by inept plotting, abysmal acting, juvenile humor or amateurish special effects, you simply don't watch a dud called "Avalanche Sharks". Yes, we are talking about a film script where giant sharks swim through and jump out of snow – even though sometimes this snow is only a few inches thick – and devour horny boys and bikini-clad girls that are spending their spring break holiday at a skiing resort. It even gets better when it turns out that the sharks supposedly represent the vengeful spirits of Native Americans whose tribes were slaughtered here on these mountains. Naturally, if I was a furious dead Indian myself, I would definitely also take on the shape of a glowing blue shark in order to extract my revenge! The script also complies with the biggest clichés of the genre. Of course there's a sleazy mayor as well as an irresponsible resort manager who refuse to shut down the resort because Spring Break is the busiest period of the year, and inevitable there's also a crazy old local yokel yelling out stuff like "The snow will turn red with blood! You'll see! You'll see!" This is a really dumb movie and I can't possible award it with a rating higher than 2/10, but in case you manage to switch off all brain functions, it's fairly enjoyable. Last but not least, there's already a suggestion for another totally absurd shark spin-off, namely "Hot Tub Shark Attack!"

Avalanche Sharks is a stupid film, plain and simple. Its characters have no characteristics beyond the surface. We have the corrupt sheriff, the greedy businessman, the tired sheriff, the virgin, the foreign and a whole cavalcade of empty-headed, teenage idiots. And even then the premise is stupider, which is saying something. It's basically Sharknado with the tornado being replaced with a skiing resort. And the worst insult is that they try to force in a half-baked origin story for these sharks. And it doesn't convince or work, at all.The movie is really nothing more than a gorefest without the budget to pull of the blood carnage convincingly. The actors do their jobs merely to get paid, which means that we don't care what happens to them. The special effects are just sad to look and the story has no impact behind it, especially when the ending solution is so laughably deus ex machina.Don't see this film. Sometimes films like this have a certain "so bad it's good" quality, but this is just pathetic.Besides, I was promised a bikini skiing contest. And they never delivered. Unforgivable!
