I had the good fortune of skiing in a world cup downhill race in Aspen with all 3 crazy cannucks and made friends with their coach Butch Boutry. Great downhills and great guys!

You just need the technique. End of story. Don't be a wimp.

alberta needs to bring back aerials

Wayne Wong was my high school idol. I tried to emulate his style in local freestyle contests in the late 70's. The slow dog noodle and the worm turn. Classic!

I entered a bump contest in the 70I's. Had no clue- just went as fast as I could until I crashed. Got back up and went as fast as I could until I crashed again. For some reason, I got the nickname Wildman.

No helmets, but a lot of hair

Stylee run at 3:35.

Thank you! I loved my years around Sun Valley! So many stories.

Dude! I just had a flashback!

hell yah finnster

Back when they actually turned in the bumps! They put on quite a show!!

Free dogs still got heart.

Sic👍👍

My home mountain Mt Seymour BC. I was there 1975 to 2020. Saw SB go from this to being 50% of the business. This is classic.

Where was this video done?

Совершеннейший "винтаж"! Особенно в демонстрации вращения и контрвращения, которым в ту пору предавалось очень болшое значение.

Those guys were catching some serious air!

I've never used a set of today's modern wide skies that I like. I don't even know why, but I so very much prefer the old (new for this video) skies. The old ones I could haul ass and then slide sideways shooting up lots of snow. I can't do that with today's skies. I don't get it.

Gotta ski the WONG way @thewongjanice

These were great racing days. I went to some of the early 80's downhills in Lake Louise. And on the slalom side there were legends like Ingemar Stenmark & the Mahre brothers. Fun times, great memories of those days.

We’d free ski and raise hell on 210 cm skis. Much more stable at high speeds.

Classic

wow ...great footage! My father Mario Podorieszach was part of that team....Wayne was my idol when I was a kid!

1974 when Mobe's came in

Jan was a stone cold fox! Love the old ski clothes!

1:50 rossi with marker mrr bindings... lol, untypical, where's look? :)

Amazing! Dont stop!

I have been skiing on a pair of KNEISSEL FREESTAR skis from 1976. They are really skidding type of skis. I rented a pair of modern shaped skis and felt really uncomfortable with the excess turn exit speed.....mostly in the steep. Is there a modern ski that is a little more skiddy?

Well done Matias

No gondola so pre 1968

5:20 Stowe should do stuff like that agian

Not long after the Whistler race finish, given the annouced points totals after that race, the word went out in Whistler that Podborski had "clinched" the Downhill title....and parties broke out all over town...in EVERY bar, restaurant and private homes. The Whistler community had been waiting for this tor a very long time. Then Mueller did if not the impossible, certainly the most improbable: He won BOTH races the following weekend in Aspen. That put him and Podborski in a points tie and they were declared "co-downhill champions" of the 81-82 season. I'm not sure if there is anybody else that has ever won 3 WC races in a row (Klammer and Steinmark might be possibles) but that puts him in a very small club if it has ever happened at all.

Please share more !

Absolute GOLD MEDAL for vintage film ! I was there .

Love these vintage videos. Great job Rob.

I love this video bring me back to what skiing was and what is should be. It should be about just having fun out in the mountains not about how flashy you post are our you ski in ski out hotel or house. It is a community of fun and adventures people

Lovely!

Jan may not have been a great skier, but she had a nice as s... RIP Jan...

The legendary Will McGuire’s cousin, Felix McGrath, at 3:20. Must be pretty incredible to be Will’s cousin. Felix is a lucky man.

Good memories of courses with all the western team members

They had courage at those speeds with the wood skis of the day and early boots and bindings.

Judging was a joke.

Loved watching the "Bumps" segment!!...lol

I was a member of the Canadian Ski Patrol in the early seventies (the only way I could afford skiing in college) - on our "weekend off", we could go and ski wherever the Canadian or National Ski Patrol was covering, as long as we opened and closed the slopes - We had a blast and we were ... unruly at times, going in "closed trails" because (maybe), someone had gone there... I met a few of these guys, Wayne Wong, and the members of the K2 Demo team. Those were the days... Great memories, Ciao, L

I sold her and her boyfriend magic mushrooms in 1989 Halloween no lies. !!!!!!!!!!
