A group of extreme winter athletes find themselves risking their neck for a director who has been hired to make a television commercial for a cellular phone company. For the spot, he has come up with an exciting visual motif-- a group of extreme skiers and snowboarders outrunning an avalanche. To get the footage they need, the crew heads to Austria. While filming, they make an unexpected discovery-- they find the secret compound of an international terrorist. Now the skiers and snowboarders are forced to use their skills to save their friends-- and possibly the world.
