Plot

Fraternity brothers at Alpine College in the snow-covered mountains of Lake Tahoe recruit Ronnie Duke (Clarke), a surfer friend from California to seduce Susan Benchley (Noel), head of the school sorority and secretary to Dean Carlton (James Wellman), because Susan has brainwashed the other female students on campus to avoid dating the boys. Ronnie sets out a plan to become captain of the ski team and win over Susan, who is engaged to John Harris (Steve Franken), while he also attempts to save the school from its financial troubles.

Music

The composer for this film, Jerry Long also wrote the score for another beach party film, Catalina Caper. Both films are his only onscreen credits.

"Wild Wild Winter", the theme song to the film, was composed by Chester Pipkin.

The Beau Brummels are shown performing their own "Just Wait and See".

The Astronauts perform "A Change of Heart", written by Mark Gordon and the film’s composer Chester Pipkin.

Al Capps and Mary Dean wrote two songs heard in the film, "Our Love's Gonna Snowball", sung by Jackie and Gayle; and "Heartbeats", sung by Dick and Dee Dee with the Astronauts shown as performing back-up.

The Astronauts are also shown as providing back-up for Jay and the Americans' performance of “Two of a Kind," written by Victor Millrose and Tony Bruno.

A soundtrack to the film was released on Decca Records in December 1965.
