They bring in a large number of friends to help with the renovation, but Jordan (Walter Maslow) – who holds a mortgage on the lodge and wants to take possession – sends a thug called Burt (John Anthony Hayes) to impede the group’s progress.
Burt and Jeff have a ski fight in which Burt saves Jeff’s life, and thereafter he stops working for Jordan.
The success of the enterprise ensured, the friends are able to pay off the mortgage. Jo-Ann and Jeff get married and Burt and his estranged girlfriend, Janine (Jill Donohue), are reconciled.
The Nooney Rickett Four (??), The Astronauts, Joni Lyman, and The Reflections were called upon to supply the music.
Winter A Go-Go was filmed at Heavenly Valley on the south shore of Lake Tahoe.
