Ski Fever (Liebesspiele im Schnee ) is a 1966 German-American musical film directed by Curt Siodmak. It is sometimes considered the last of the beach party cycle. The film was shot in Europe. The movie was the last theatrical feature Siodmak directed.

Siodmak later discussed the film:

was about girls in ski resorts who have lost all morals and about some ski instructors who fool around with them. Anyhow, when I came back from working on it, the sex wave had started in America. You could see all those naked dames and couples in bed, of which I could only talk, but never show. The picture was outdated the day it was released. The permissiveness of the audience had turned 180 degrees.

Plot

At an Austrian ski resort, various instructors have a competition who can seduce the most women. Matters are complicated by the arrival of an American ski instructor, Brian, and an American girl, Susan.

Reception

Variety wrote "On the assumption that the people who go to see Ski Fever will pay the kind of intermittant attention to the film that is usually associated only with tv, pic may play off by boring only a minimal number of people. Expecting stronger response seems beyond the ability of this carelessly made attempt to reach the teen market."

Filmink wrote "There’s some flirting, songs (sung in a German accent), a lot of skiing."

The Jerry Styner/Guy Hemric composition, "Please Don't Gamble with Love" was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.
