Description:
Johnny Baxter (Dean Jones), a New York accountant, inherits a hotel in the Rocky Mountains, quits his job, and moves his family out West to beautiful Colorado. The Rockies never seemed rockier as the Baxters find their 'estate' in a state of total dilapidation.
Amazon.com:
When New York accountant Johnny Baxter (Dean Jones) learns he has inherited a Colorado hotel, he promptly quits his thankless job, packs up his dubious family, and heads west. Since this is a Disney comedy, the inn's only customers turn out to be nonpaying raccoons and its decorating motif is strictly cobweb. To make matters worse, the local banker not only refuses Baxter a loan, but tries to buy out the desperate newcomer with a lowball figure. But with the help of an eccentric squatter (M*A*S*H's Harry Morgan), a local snowmobile dude, and an avalanche, the city slickers eventually prevail. Jones' slapstick style is showcased in ski and snowmobile scenes featuring vintage 1972 special effects that are nevertheless hysterical to kids. With a G rating, this is safe, relatively entertaining family fare. (Ages 5 and older) --Kimberly Heinrichs

Rating:  - A winter classic
This is a classic movie that came out when I was three, but I grew up watching it on TV.This is a clean, fun movie to watch with the whole family.
Rating:  - Just a little short, I believe
First off I love this movie. I remember seeing it at the base theater in Norfolk VA. I saw it several times. I was wondering if anyone remembers seeing it back in 1972. I've had the VHS tape for several years now. It runs for 93 minutes. I haven't bought the DVD yet, but noticed that it runs 93 minutes too.
I remember when I saw it, that towards the end when Keenan Wynn, asks for a drink of water and an aspirin, he goes into the kitchen. As I remember it, shortly after that noises are heard ... Read More
Rating: - An often overlooked Disney treat!
Dean Jones stars as office clerk and family man Johnny Baxter, a job-weary soul whose ship may have just come in.

Three and a half stars for SNOWBALL EXPRESS.
Here's the plot: When a distant great uncle passes away, harried working drone John Baxter (Dean Jones) inherits the Grand Imperial Hotel in snowy Silver Hill, Colorado. In a highlight moment, Baxter quits his job in grand style, and then off he goes to pack his reluctant family to ski country. They get a shock, however, when they instead arrive at a run-down, deserted shambles of an establishment (the locals dub it "Crazy Jake's place").

Used to watch this movie when it came on tv as a kid.I was very excited when they released this to DVD.I have watched it several times now and still laugh at the mishaps that occur.It's a great family movie with lessons to be learned and clean comedy.Although it is an older movie, it is still funny today.Great for family night.
