I was glad to have met Max and Edna during my time as a photographer in Summit. Even more honored to own a pair of Max's skis and deliver a pair of them to the Ski Tip Lodge.

Love old bw footage Important era of our skiing history in Colorado

So very sad to lose Moose this week. 😢

I used to have a pair of Hanson boots in the early 80’s. I don’t have them anymore… and neither does anyone else! Now, I tele. So it’s Scarpa for me.

Always stellar work by Jalbert Great guys! I loved my Hanson boots! Good to see this!! Jss

simply WOW.......... skied here soooo many times.... worked here in the early aughts... buut looking back this far is too cool. mountain hasn't changed, although lots of new lifts and services

❤

Very nice turns, probably on 205s! Lots of memories there - my Vail friends and I would make the trek over every week for freestyle contests in the mid-70s (with real moguls back then!).

I am an aging but still active ski pro. I skied Aspen Highlands backing the80;s, once. I'd like to ski it one more time.

As an avid fan of both archival footage and winter sports… this is truly one of the best things I’ve ever stumbled across on RUclips.

Way to go John:)!

The good old days of stepping into every turn. The skis in those days didn't want to bend very well and lock into a turn. But it was all relative.

course is really soft, they were great skiers

I am the kid in the race course wearing bib #1. I look to be about 10 yrs. old in this video so I'm thinking it was filmed around 1966. My father, Lou Bowlds, founded this kids program called the Ski JETS and was a business partner of Willy's. We were all kids from Denver and it was the best program going for young Denverite skiers. The top skier to come out of this program was Johnny Buxman who subsequently moved to Vail, made the US Ski Team, and raced World Cup in the Thoeni/Stenmark era. My father also founded the Rocky Mountain News Ski School. He arranged for multiple buses to transport adult skiers from Denver to A-Basin for ski lessons. I think it was like $20 for 4 lessons which included the lessons, lift tickets, and transportation from Denver. What a deal!!

Jean and Dadou Mayer, awesome skiers and lodge owners. Stayed there in 68.

This is awesome! I met Hans in the 90s on the coast of Maine.I was friends with his son Arthur. Hans started and developed Magic Mtn in Vermont

gotta love the Stetson! no helmet needed!

Sounds like the sound didn’t sound so good. Bummer

not FRance.....thisk is Austria

Skiing season from November to June! Stupid climate hoaxers, you see nothing has changed! My favorite time to go skiing is still in June!

Jean Claude Killy!

Suzy can ski my pole anytime

🔥 🔥🔥

Good show

Head metal skis, but about a year before Lange plastic boots were introduced. I would have been about the age of the kids skiing in the video, but I was skiing at Loveland and Geneva Basin most of the time. I can't believe how badly women were treated as sexual objects to be conquered. It would be difficult for men of the 1960s to accept that the best skier in the world in 2024 is female (Mikaela Shiffrin).

Wow - This is awesome.

My life :-)

Legendary

Needless hectic soundtrack.

67% of Americans would blow a knee or ankle if they stood too long.

The greatest ski hero of North America!! Legendary!

Keep the conversation going. After living in the Elks mountain range for 23 years, it’s definitely a thing. Reach out! Give a hug ❤

What a care free time

OMG, this is so lame, where to start? I watch this for entertainment at how hilarious is her overall inability to explain basic ski movements and concepts. Pole plants and arm movement are linked, but separate. You do not need to 'bring it back", what a lame statement. You simply let your hand continue to move downhill and into the turn over the top of the pole. There is zero need to 'bring it back, whatever that means.

One of The Gems. Fun hill!

FANTASTIC ! I'm just up the road in breathtaking Westcliffe from Cuchara, and will be getting a season pass to help out a little ! I absolutely loved the presentation because, it reminds me of all the old stories of how Aspen, Steamboat and Vail etc., got started so long ago. Thank you Colorado Museum And Hall of Fame for reaching out to Cuchara. We need to support these independent small ski resorts. Only wealthy people can afford to ski in the elite big resorts now. Skiing was once a wonderful family activity but now, with many resorts at or approaching $300 for a day pass with the horrible economy, and massive inflation of everything, it is making it impossible for most to ski any longer. I'm grateful for ares like Monarch where it is still somewhat affordable.

Snowboarded (yes 😁) Ajax 2003. i was told to 'beat it' at the gondi base. Great mountain, oh yeah! Great day. Great mountain charismatic vibe too. Even him.

Anyone have info on the glorious song in the roughly 12 min mark?

When skiing was cool.

Righteous. Thanks for upload

Has not aged well?

These are some of best classic Warren Miller moments. Love these films. The first bit on getting off of the lift is so classic! "Want your kid? Go get her."

This is just so darn wholesome. Miss the olden days of skiing (the 80s) although I sure do appreciate the gear of nowadays...

Ah I remember skiing in the 70s. Fun times!

back when long skis carved moguls so massive you could link turns on one. six day lift ticket was $77 but coke was more more expensive. go figure

Some of the skiers are quite good at skiing on the outside edge of the inside ski. The methodology and the equipment have really changed over the years, mostly for the good. Warren Miller made the greatest skiing films each year and used to narrate them in person. Hard to imagine one skier getting to make tracks in the powder alone. Today there would be 50 others right next to each other. The sound on this film is really bad!

This was when? As soon as they got in to it, seriously creative lines. As far as the audio drops go, for me sometime less of Warren is more. Inspiring cinematography. Groovy soundtrack. (Edit: Vail cited as America’s newest so 1962-63.)

Incredible skiing on heavy, solid wood skis with screw in metal edges, primitive spring bindings & leather boots!

At 10:35, that's exactly what I sound like eating a burger I have cooked at Belle's. Grrr.

Been there then!
