**_Cabin in the snowy woods_** Seven yuppie friends are invited to the opening of a ski resort in northern Utah where, it turns out, a mysterious person is intent on killing them all. Could it be their jealous friend who died in a ski accident four years earlier? “Iced” (1988) is a traditional slasher with the milieu of “Snowbeast” in the manner of “Satan’s Blade” from the early 80s. Twenty-two years later, “Donner Pass” borrowed from these films for the best of the lot. If you like any of these flicks, “Iced” is worth checking despite being formulaic and strapped with some lousy music (not all of it, just bits). You can’t beat the setting and, say what you will, it delivers the goods. As the story progresses, the characters are fleshed out. Standing out in the feminine department is Lisa Loring, best known as Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family. The flick runs 1 hour, 26 minutes, and was shot in north-central Utah with parts done in Big Cottonwood Canyon, which is a dozen miles east of Salt Lake City. GRADE: B-
