Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Out Cold
A wealthy businessman plans to buy a small ski town in Alaska.
At first, the slacker employees, who do nothing but party and try pick up girls, like the idea, but they soon change their minds.
The new owner starts changing everything about the laid back resort.
The owner promotes one of the slackers to manager, but fires the rest of them.
When the manager realizes all of the changes being made he quits. He joins the rest of the slackers and they prepare to drive away the new owner and his rich investors. With their pants pulled down, they snowboard down the hill into the meeting. They begin smashing and tearing things up while the investors flee.
The old owner snatches the contract from the new owner and rips it up.
They keep their laid back ski resort the way it's always been, the way they like it.

--Brandon Swenson, Resident Scholar
