The narrator was Lowell Thomas, A well known world traveler, author, and radio news anchor for CBS. Since CBS televised the 1960 Winter Olympics, I would think that Thomas, an experience skier, probably did commentary on alpine skiing.
The "Monty" Thomas referred to was Monty Atwater, a pioneer in avalanche control. I worked for years at Squaw with his sons, "Chip" and "Tiger." Those were some wild times back in the 80's.
