This is awesome. Pirmin, in my mind, was and will always be the best skier ever.

[@RUETTI3MAA]

It still hurts to remember Pirmin has beaten Peter at Olympic Games in Calgary... However, that's sport. All Swiss skier were amazing, thanks for the inspiration!

This film is fantastic it reminds me of my younger days skiing,Zurbriggen was my favorite skier and still is to this day

[@donaldoneilljr7728]

This downhill was my all time favorite!!!!!! I remember being absolutely clued to the TV watching the Downhill!!!!!! I remember even the announcer thought it was over before Pirmin Zurbriggen left the start gate!!!!!! I had chills down my spine watching his run for the ages!!!!!!!

The ski lifts and Nakiska were torn down and the course was never raced again! Wouldn't it be epic if it were woken back up!!

[@cartwagon]

Nakiska is still the training centre for Alpine Canada and has seen many upgrades over the years. The summit Poma lift is not open to the public anymore. It added 150m of vertical, but was incredibly exposed, as you can see in the video.

@@nathanjanuszewski - That was my boy hood fantasy down hill idol winning in 88! Even in 88 the race was delayed because of crazy crazy weather!
