Film Synopsis

Two rival Olympic ice skaters, who have been permanently banned from the men's singles competition due to a feud, exploit a loophole that will allow them to qualify as a pairs team.

    Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell) and Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder) are the two titans of skating. At the Winter Olympics, the fierce rivals find themselves forced to share the winner's podium when they both score gold. The shower of glory doesn't last for long, as the pair descend into fisticuffs and set the mascot on fire. Disgraced and stripped of their medals, they can get back on ice, but only if they dance with each other as a pair.

    Host of Aspen’s favorite winter morning report, “Local” on Aspen 82, Clayton Dahlman has enjoyed “telling us about our valley” since his move here in the second grade. With the yellow brick as an Alma mater, his education was steeped in traditional mountain values and a deep appreciation for the forest that surrounds us. Ever grateful that his grandmother, Phoebe Ryerson, had the courage to venture west to the big silver nugget of Aspen in the late 60s, he remains.
