Synopsis: “Jem and the Holograms take a much needed vacation to the Colorado mountains. There they meet Rick Franklin, owner of a ski resort and old friend of Howard Sands. The girls find out that Rick’s resort is being threatened by a rival ski resort owned by none other then Eric Raymond. To settle the dispute over which resort controls the mountain, Jem and the Holograms challenge the Misfits to a ski race.”

Summary:

We open with Jem and the Holograms driving on a snow covered mountain road as they head to a Colorado ski resort for a vacation escape.

Kimber: I want to concentrate on some handsome ski bum.

But when the band arrives at the lodge, they interrupt a heated argument between Rick Franklin, the resort owner, and the bank. It turns out that Rick is behind in his mortgage payments. If he doesn’t pay it by the end of the week, he loses everything he’s worked for. A lot of the resort’s loyal customers have not been returning, no thanks in part to frequent and suspicious breakdowns. There’s also a new competitive resort who’s been stealing Rick’s customers, just further down the mountain.

Aja: We’re on top of the world. Isn’t the peace and quiet great?

After signing in, Aja takes in the fresh air and looks forward to the band’s vacation, but her enthusiasm is cut short when a snowball collides with her head. Pizzazz and the rest of The Misfits pull up in Skidoos .

Pizzazz: Well look who’s here. Little miss pink hair and the singalongs.

Cue The Misfits music video: “You Gotta Be Fast”

The Holograms chase after The Misfits on ski as they attempt to quell any mischief they will attempt to create. Along the way, Clash stealthily awaits on a snowy tree top until Shana passes by. Just at the right moment, Clash kicks a giant pile of snow onto Shana. Next up Roxy and Stormer set a trap for Aja and Kimber and yank a cord that causes them to trip. Last but not least, Pizzazz waits patiently to ambush Jem and proceeds to rapidly pelt her with snowballs. All is not lost though when Svenson, the resort’s very best ski instructor comes to the rescue. It doesn’t take long for Rio to show up, where he catches Svenson and Jem together and immediately has a fit of jealousy.

Rio: I’ll bet you are. I brought the equipment. You can practice now, if you’ve got the time.

Jem: Rio, what are you getting so upset about? He was just helping me out? Anyway, I thought it was Jerrica that you cared about.

Svenson: No Leo, you can’t have two girlfriends and me with none.

Rio: She’s yours, Romeo. And the name’s Rio.

Kimber: What a hunk. If you don’t want Svenson, I’ll take him.

Back at the lodge, things aren’t looking good for Rick when a mob of angry customers complain about faulty gear. They threaten to leave for his competitor’s resort, where it’s safe. Kimber and her quick thinking comes up with a plan to put on a concert, since they have to practice anyway. Jem pleads with the angry guests to give the resort another chance, in exchange for a free concert. Rick also makes a promise that if his customers don’t have a good time, he’ll refund their money.

Rick: I built this place with my bare hands, and now turnip squeezing banker is going to get the best of me. Speak of the devil…

Outside the lodge, after Rick chats with Jem about the history of his ski resort, a limo rolls up with Eric Raymond and the banker, which we later discover is colluding with Eric to put Rick out of business. Naturally Eric’s concern is that if Jem and the Holograms are allowed to put on a concert, it will attract many paying customers. This can’t be allowed to pass as it means ownership of the resort and mountain will remain in Rick’s honourable hands.

Later in the day, one of the ski lifts comes partially free from the cable that supports it (no…
