Weak script, and not enough T and A.
The snowboarders vs. skiers plot engine was good, but the snow boarding in the movie was more boring than shredding (ho ho). The box tries to make is sound like there is some extreme sports/snowboarding footage in it, but there isn't anything of note. Also the music was v. weak (something that snowboarding movies usually at least try to do).
As far as the writing goes, the lame references to the Scream (n+1) movies and other horror movies were a mistake.
As made clear by this movie, the slasher genre needs to grow in new ways. Perhaps the success of the Japanese/HK supernatural thrillers will help move things away from the obviousness of this movie. Another good horror/(semi-)slasher movie: May (2003).
**SPOILER** I will say, there were a few good gory moments, like when the killer is trying to stab someone hiding in a closet with a dead body and the killer's spike grabs the dead head, which separates from the body, and starts going back and forth towards the screaming girl. Innovative, I suppose.
