Jack, a chimpanzee known for his athletic talent, is accidentally sent to a ski resort during a trip. There, he meets Ben and Cara, two siblings who are learning to snowboard. Jack quickly adapts to the sport and impresses everyone with his skills on the slopes. [3] However, a group of antagonists discovers his talent and plans to capture him to commercially exploit his unique abilities. With the help of Ben and Cara, Jack must escape these dangers while competing in extreme snowboarding competitions, facing challenges and strengthening their friendship along the way [3] .

Production

In MXP: Most Xtreme Primate, Jack is portrayed by Louie, a chimpanzee owned by Greg and Carol Lille. [4] Louie was trained to snowboard by skiing and snowboarding instructor Sam Morishima, first using an indoor ski deck, then on hills and slopes on the Lilles' property, and finally on slopes at Soda Springs Ski Resort near Lake Tahoe in California. [4] Louie had a "warming tent" set up for him, with a heater, to serve as a respite from the cold temperatures. [4]
