Love the old-school vibe! I want a silver jacket like Bob Griswold is sporting in that K2 video.
That is some nice footage.
Here is something from Engelberg in 1980. Skiing the Galtiberg (~2000 m descent from Titlis down to the valley).

I was watching that K2 demo video and had itunes playing this track by accident at the same time.
I had a double take thinking that they nailed the soundtrack so well back in '71.
Perfect match
-Thanks for posting those vids, I'm not that old but it does take me back to the time when I fell in love with the sport.
Dick Barrymore FTW
A lot more faceshots with 60mm waisted skis. Good Thievery Corp song DV
Turgid prose?
Corny humor?
Endless slo-mo face shots?
Ankles bolted together?
Check check checkity-check!!!
Old skool skee movies at their finest! TFPU
'Effing Smith could ski! Boys had it to themselves!
Great job on goggle testing, love my Smiths.
Big Props to these guys, we owe them alot.
If you haven't seen Last Of The Ski Bums, you really owe it to yourself to track it down. It's my favorite ski porno ever.Quote:

Good stuff - Thank you.
I'm (gonna) look for The Performers on-line -
for some reason it feels to me like the first Schmidt footage from WarrenMiller's 'SkiTime' might qualify as 'old school', though perhaps it was actually the end of 'Old school's
Thank you for this thread. skiJ
I've found a few clips from The Performers online, but never the whole film. Think you can still get it here on DVD though...

I just finished reading Lowell Skoog's Written in the Snows, which covers much of the PNW ski history. This film has footage from the 1934 Silver Skis race on Mt Rainier, the 1935 National Championship held on Rainier. Also a good segment at 1hr 10min mark on the Ski Hayden development that never was. Coincidentally, the new owners of Ski Hayden's Highland Bavarian lodge just commissioned a documentary on the lodge/ski area history that will hopefully be out this year. They struck a deal with the County to "preserve" the lodge in exchange for additional development rights.

Today is Stein Eriksen's birthday. He was Heavenly's first Ski School Director for a couple years in the mid-50's, back in the early days when it was growing from a rope tow on Ski Run Blvd into an actual ski resort.

His nickname on the hill was big bird, which at 6’7 was pretty fitting!
He's not landing switch and riding it to the road.Quote:
