NYC-based copy editor, Alex, is sent to Ridgeline Resort, an extreme sports outpost, to write a story for a travel writing competition. At first, she fails at everything – much to the chagrin of Cole, an extreme sports enthusiast who thinks this city girl should head back to New York. But when Alex offers to assist Cole with his local arts festival, he reluctantly obliges to be her guide as she faces her fears doing one extreme sport after the next.

Excellent, a Must See
Don't listen to the negative reviews
A Disappointing Continuation
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
I love everything about this movie... the story line, the setting, the leads, etc and I would highly recommend it to Hallmark movie fans!!
After putting it off for a while I finally watched it. And despite having to pause it for 20 minutes I really enjoy it. While it's not my favorite from this Winter season, I believe it's worth the watch. Beautiful scenery: it only increases my desire to visit Canada.The best part was definitely Katrina Bowden as Alex: watching her overcome her fears and developing as a character. I hope we get to see her in more Hallmark movies.Great storyline. It was not the funniest script, but acceptable. My only problem was Thomas' character Cole. I did not connect with him. And sometimes I didn't find Thomas' acting very convincing. The chemistry was not enough for me. Once again, disappointing: I was expecting more after watching the previews.Despite my disappointment I liked it, it's worth the watch. Don't know if I will watch again.
Hallmark movies most of the time are a pleasant timepass but hardly more. This one is one of the exceptions. This one leaves you with its impression. You actually see the development that happens over the course of the movie. The love that blossoms between the leads feels natural instead of forced and manufactured. Their expressive acting breaths life into the story. Overall a commendable job. One of those movies you can watch again.
I never review a movie without watching it at least 3 times. The first viewing gives you the overall picture; story,plot, characters etc. The second gives you access to details you missed in the first one. The third viewing allows you to concentrate on production, directing, writing, casting etc. since you already know the plot and outcome.I found this to be a deliteful new entry from Hallmark. Outdoor scenes were shot on location (real snow). Casting actually (finally) put the two leads together with on screen chemestry. Character development took place early in the movie. we were shown their weaknesses and goals early on thanks to good writing. This movie sets the bar pretty high for Hallmark to follow with the rest of this years new entrys. my total score: 9
