Mogul Skiing: Cool Old School with Peter Jacobs Part 2

Video made in 1986 with Peter Jacobs. Winner International Ski Film Festival 1986. When mogul skiers were still carving their turns not swiveling! Also featuring world champion Donna Weinbrecht, who won the first gold medal for freestyle mogul skiing in 1991. Part 2

Great footage and really encouraging while giving the genuine respect to the inherent difficulty of mogul skiing.

The ending brought a little tear to my eye. It was a simpler time... no internet, no helmets, just you and your family asking in your t-shirts.

God...!! 1986 skiing in Taos ski Valley on a warm sunny day in March with the smell of green chile cheese burgers, sun tan lotion and flat beer, awesome moguls and a twenty dollar bill for lift tickets .. Those were the days. Thanks for posting this!!!

Skied there in 1976 with Dr. Al of Al's Run. He was nearing the end but wouldn't quit and used an oxygen tank. Still remember how good the Mayer brothers Jean and Dadu were. I'll never forget Dadu telling me that all his students said their goal was to ski like him. He was insulted; saying nobody ever says to a concert pianist that hey, I want you to teach me to play like you.

Awesome retro mogul skiing. Love the 80's with that music !!

Great video, even after all those years. Very instructive!

Very professional and engaging commentary

Beautiful video. Sheer elegance all the way through.

I appreciate your narrative at time 07:30... "...There are times when suddenly it will feel right, for an instant you understand and then just as suddenly it disappears, so you go on exploring the mountain yourself searching for that feeling..." I live in Hong Kong and stuck in Canada due to COVID-19 (all flights to Hong Kong are grounded) for nearly half ski season since 2021 November... Luckly, my ski accumulated mileage in this season is more than all mileages I ever 🎿

1st time I've seen that early side step ever mentioned, for sure that will make big difference

Go Donna GO!!! Love Outer Limits! First encounter was a near blizzard day.. lost a ski one bump up.. had to Mountain climb up to get it, had goggles full of snow glasses snow covered and realized the stories of VW busses stacked bumper to bumper on a steep was real.. got my S**t together and did not fall for several more trips down the best trail on Bear mountain...!!

True ski

Chickaaaaa! Approved

Great video!. A lot of this can still be applied to modern equipment. Just need to add inside ski steering/ edging and increase retraction/extension. Reminds me of mid 80s ski racing, looked liked they were skating through the course stepping the inside ski. Great memories. The new skis are so much better!

[@lukeares1165]

@Imran Kasen Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@lukeares1165]

@Imran Kasen It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my account!

[@imrankasen5872]

@Luke Ares you are welcome :)

[@z3a3k3]

a beautiful sight, indeed! the whole family on skis: mama, gracefully leading the bunch, papa, precisely bringing up the rear, with the kids just trying to make it in between ( and hush! don't tell any progressivists: the friggin holy helmets rest in peace .... -;)

The current man-made competition moguls are extremely boring in comparison. The instructions here still are correct for modern equipment.
