Allan C Ski Ballet, Don Johnson, and chair-lift disaster! Ski Lift to Death (TV Movie 1978) AKA Snow Blind ** Quaint small-scale entry in the 70s cycle of disaster films, such as EARTHQUAKE, AIRPORT, and THE TOWERING INFERNO. A ski ballet champion, Deborah Raffin, gets trapped on an unstable ski gondola along with fellow skiers Don Johnson, a freestyle ski jumping champion, and his cute girlfriend Lisa Reeves (who I’m on a quest to watch all 9 of her IMDB credits). There’s some interesting logistics of how they bring everyone to safety, but the dumb subplot as to why the gondola failed is pretty stupid. Not a lot to recommend here outside of an early performance by Johnson, or if you’re fascinated by the short-lived career of Lisa Reeves, as I am, and that was the only reason I watched this TV movie. Howard Duff and Clu Galager also appear in the film.  AI CAPSULE REVIEW: A minor and mostly forgettable entry in the 1970s disaster film trend, Ski Lift to Death offers little beyond early Don Johnson charm and ski ballet kitsch. Worth a look only for die-hard fans of obscure TV movies or Lisa Reeves completists. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/23/25 Full Review Read all reviews
