Not Filmed in Telluride!

This movie was filmed in my hometown of Crested Butte, Colorado. Not Telluride or Breckenridge. It's basically the greatest ski resort in Colorado now.

"Basically" the greatest ski resort in Colorado? With all do respect to that warm glow you get from your home town - but the Butte is not the best by far. If you're a fan of some great technical telemark skiing yeah Crested Butte may be for you, but as for a well rounded resort - look at Copper, Keystone, & hell even Cooper before "Crusty Butt".

Tried to send personal note, I'll try this too. Is the 'Grand Imperial Inn' featured in the movie real?? Private property or part of a resort?? Thanks - D

No it was just a facade and the rest was filmed on a stage.

Where was the facade of the hotel located? Mount Creste Butte?
