"Unfortunately, the cinematography is the only reason to see Aspen Extreme. The movie does not possess an abundance of redeeming qualities. Writer/director Patrick Hasburgh, a ski buff, is unable to put together a convincing story with real characters. He knows his stuff on the slopes, but this film tries unsuccessfully to be a lot more. For this, his first effort, he might have had some success trying for a comedy instead of a drama." - James Berardinelli (Reel Views, 1996)

"Patrick Hasburgh, who makes his feature-film debut as the writer and director of "Aspen Extreme," is a ski enthusiast and former instructor who still knows more about skiing than about movies. Even though it runs close to two hours, "Aspen Extreme" remains sort of stretched out and dramatically undeveloped." - Vincent Camby (New York Times)

"The acting's not bad, the skiing is great and the scenery is spectacular. Still, six bucks is a steep price to pay for a travelogue, especially to a place where extreme prejudice has become as threatening as any vertical drop." - Hollis Chacona (The Austin Chronicle, January 1993)

"The players are all appealing and the film is bolstered by some eye-popping ski footage, including a stunningly photographed avalanche. But the story and characters are so dull, and the film is so long (a full and very tedious two hours), that the audience will likely be snoozing before it's over." - Chris Hicks (Desert News Salt Lake City, January 1993)
