During filming, news reached Jill Kinmont that her cousin Jimmy Lewis, who had visited her during her hospitalization nineteen years before, suffered a spinal cord injury in a fall and was paralyzed.
The song "Richard's Window" performed by Olivia Newton-John during the ending credits was nominated for a Oscar for best original song.
Jill Kinmont was a technical adviser on the film. Her work included three days on Mammoth Mountain, where many of the ski racing shots were filmed. She was transported on a mechanical "snowcat", with her wheelchair strapped to the back.
"[Reflecting on her life after the loss of her fiance] Jill Kinmont: I try not to let it, but sometimes it all plays back in my mind, and when it does, I remember the words that Dick Buek said to me the last time I saw him: "How lucky I am to have found someone and something that saying goodbye to is so damned awful.""
"Jill Kinmont: Okay, that's enough! Dick 'Mad Dog' Buek: No, that's not enough! 'Cause I'm going to stick around here until you shape up, you understand that? I don't care if you can't ski! I don't care if you can't walk! I don't care if you crawl around like a damn lizard. You're not getting any sympathy from me."
