Jack Turner of Durango has a novel idea: Create a spoof of all ski movies — “Wayne’s World” meets Warren Miller. That’s how “Cheap Ski Movie” was born, an hour-long feature that set Turner back $60,000. This really is unlike any movie you’ve seen. After all, the two main characters, Jonny and Lou, are cardboard cutouts. Turner’s goal isn’t to disparage the movies Miller and his company made over the years. “In our film, what’s bad is good,” said Turner, who competed for the U.S. nordic combined team in the 1970s. “We need some humor in this industry. It’s OK to make fun of yourself.”
