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.

Pops taken by John Jay back in the day.
His nickname on the hill was big bird, which at 6’7 was pretty fitting!

Ah, thank you for posting that. I recalled having seen a video a while back of Killy talking about not having skied for a long time, but I couldn't find it, or even remember if it was in a documentary, or whatever. In any case your mention of the article led me to a CNN interview where Killy talks about it at 1:55 into the vid. Originally Posted by skiJ

You can find the article (and some others) here.The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

Let's be honest; this one of the best movies ever made. It's an annual watch for me, which I still need to do. Thanks for the reminder! Originally Posted by fomofo

Although not as widely/well known as some of his other titles Flamingo is another masterpiece. Great watch every time!
Back to Aspen, here's another classic oldie from one of Stump's prime mentors...
