Reception
''Heroes' Mountain rated well with 219,503 viewers[3] and it was the ninth highest rated movie of the year.[4]
Matt Buchanan of The Sydney Morning Herald gave it a positive review stating "Much of the considerable success of Heroes' Mountain lies in Andrikidis's and screenwriter John Misto's focusing on life and death at Thredbo in 1997."[5] Brian Courtis of The Sun-Herald gave it 3 stars and the pick of the week saying "It is nail-biting, disaster-movie material and, with a line-up of some of Australia's more prominent actors in the heroic roles, that is the way it is treated."[6]
