Ski School is a 1991 comedy film directed by Damian Lee and starring Dean Cameron. Its plot concerns a fictional ski school. A sequel, Ski School 2, followed in 1994, also starring Cameron.

Production

Ski School was filmed at ski resorts in Oregon and Whistler, British Columbia. According to Dean Cameron, though, they were able to film on a modest budget because it was shot in the springtime so they "got May rates". Pick-up shots were done in Los Angeles about a year after principal production.

Cameron said in a 2016 interview that the film was sold to producers based solely on its title and a mockup movie poster, before a script was written and before any actors were cast. Cameron said they were given five months to make the movie to secure the financing.

According to Cameron, John was intended to be the lead character until actor Tom Bresnahan was injured while skiing and Dave Marshak was elevated to the lead. Cameron said that he "played Dave Marshak as Bugs Bunny."

According to Cameron and Stuart Fratkin, much of the comedy in the film was improvised or else written by the actors themselves.

Fratkin later wrote that he initially read for the lead role, but lost the job to Cameron. He wrote that he hesitated to accept the offer to play Fitz until his agent secured second billing for him.
