"Ski Lift to Death" [alternately known as "Snowblind"], 1987, directed by William Wiard and starring Deborah Raffin, Charles Frank, Howard Duff, Clu Gulager, and Suzy Chaffee.
Romance and intrigue at a Rocky Mountain ski resort ends with two derailed ski-lift gondolas hanging from a cable. An ex-gangster hangs in one of the gondolas while an assassin maneuvers to bump him off.
Location filming in Banff National Park, including Sunshine and Lake Louise ski areas, the Sulphur Mountain Gondola, Banff Springs Hotel, and various downtown locations.
Rumour has it that none of Banff’s ski areas wanted their lifts associated with a film called Ski Lift to Death, but the Sulphur Mountain Gondola was willing to use their gondola cars for the derailing stunt. Many Banff locals appear in nightclub and ski hill scenes.
