Los Angeles Times
It's a swift, shrewdly devised youth comedy, a reliable blend of dazzling stunts on the slopes, including mind-boggling somersaults on skis and cornball humor. [15 Jan 1990, p.F9] - 25
The Seattle Times
As skiing comedies go, this one is no easier to endure than Hot Dog - The Movie or Snowball Express. Maslansky instructed his writers to come up with a script to go along with the title he'd dreamed up, and every character, comic twist and plot development seems tortuously manufactured and insincere. [10 Feb 1990, p.C7] - 20
Time Out
Why do these 'zany' comedies fall back on the corniest situations and the most predictable stereotypes? - 20
TV Guide Magazine
Ski Patrol is lame-brained entertainment stuffed with tired gags and stale slapstick. - 20
The Guardian
Ski Patrol is produced by Paul Maslansky, who was responsible for the Police Academy series. Substitute a ski lodge in Utah for the well-known Academy and you have the film in one the kind of baleful adolescent material that would knock the warts straight off Cromwell's face. [14 Jun 1990] - 10
Washington Post
Lame jokes, dull cast, stale plot. Ski Patrol, ski-daddle. - 10
The New York Times
Movies don't get more derivative or less comic than this. - 0
San Francisco Chronicle
A comedy without laughs. The people on screen laugh more than the audience. I'd be willing to bet that the average person laughs more during any given 105 minutes of the workday than they would during all of Ski Patrol. Even if they go to Ski Patrol having had a few drinks. [05 Mar 1990, p.F1]
