Synopsis
A young British working-class girl gets hired as "chalet girl" at a noble ski resort, where she feels completely out of her element - until she discovers her talent for snowboarding and the affections for her bosses' charming son is returned. However, there are thousand reasons that would speak against a Happy Ending...
Will she overcome all obstacles and start off at the famous ticket-to-ride competetion? Can the romance outlast the season? And is it really possible to fulfull one's dreams and turn your own life completely upside down?
