During the filming in the summer of 1979, “High Ice” gave the small town of Darrington its most enduring brush with Hollywood. Thirty years later, the community will celebrate with a special event Saturday that includes two showings of the movie.


http://archive.heraldnet.com/article/20090824/NEWS01/708249846



The “High Ice” story involves a forest ranger played by actor David Janssen who clashes with an Army officer played by Tony Musante over how to handle a search-and-rescue operation to save three hysterical rock climbers stranded after an avalanche pins them on a ledge high up on a mountain in the Cascade Range.In reality, 6,852-foot Whitehorse is popular with climbers and on the most-traveled route requires little more than routine mountaineering skills and equipment.


nowwwwwwwwwww, THEY SAID IT...
to save three hysterical rock climbers


folks, must not have thought too highly, of climbers,
when this was made, :(


but, wow, they sure did love helicopter-special-effects,
it seems:

and half the footage is helicopters just hovering around.

(said in nice'ness, just 'reporting' what seems to be the facts' ... :)

A FEW interesting reviews, though, too,
one from the hometown, one from an unhappy viewer, and one about the
little boy, and one about china, even...


oh, well, guys, have fun...
OH, and by the way:

who had seen it...
who has not...

and, anyone know of the town?

and, one more note, that i saw, from this,
of the above, quote (once again)
well--has anyone ever BEEN there?:

Good find, neebee!

It looks like the stunt work was top-notch, and the helicopter stuff genuinely scary.

Speaking of Russ, careful with the sexual remarks, guys. This is a family movie.
The Walling-Buseys enjoyed it together, anyway.
