Almighty Janitor: During the ski instructor tryouts, Dexter outperforms everybody else (including TJ). However, because he isn't particularly handsome, he does not get the job (according to the director of the ski school, "Skiing is the easy part" and instructors are expected to "fulfill a fantasy"). After TJ begs the ski school director to give Dexter a chance, Dexter is given a job teaching children how to ski while dressed as Santa Claus.

Abusive Parents: It's heavily implied that Dexter had an abusive father, which is why as a child he latched on to TJ's family.

Berserk Button: Franz taunts TJ about Dexter's death near the end of the film. Big mistake.

Artistic License – Geography: TJ falls into a crevasse while practicing for the Powder 8. In reality, Colorado has no glaciated terrain.
