Vintage Australian Alpine films - The Many Moods of Skiing (1963)

[@EUMAN1]

Oh man, what a "GEM"!! I was born in 1963 and am currently a Snow Sports Instructor (Alpine Ski and Snowboard). We do things a little differently these days. lol This is now, by far, my favorite ski movie of all time. Thank you so much for sharing this piece of history.

A great ski montage from past decades. These skiers are highly skilled, especially with their ancient equipment. The mogul skiers were outstanding. No helmets, and no fear! ⛷️😎👍

Great film. Thanks for posting. These skiers are really quite spectacular if you consider the equipment they are skiing on.

Thanks, great memories . . . In case some watcher laughs at their technique, remind them that, regardless of style, the people we watched from then, were exceptional athletes. They skied parallel without our 21st-century smug skills and "state-of-the-art" gear. Bravo.

5:00 and 6:37 are clips of the fluid and highly influential Stein Ericksen. The video is apparently a montage of skiing clips across different years.

Wow! Downhill racing at 50 mph in cable bindings...

Probably leather bindings instead of cable bindings!

Who knew there were alps in Australia ! ?

[@bondicraig37]

Yes and skiing is really popular

[@TheGr8scott]

Imagine if you were at a ski field today and you saw two people in tights zigzagging down the mountain on tandom skis with a balloon tied behind their backs...

[@509Gman]

Wouldn’t be the strangest thing I’ve seen there.

[@NeilSurry]

This film was produced by an Australian Skier & film maker. Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy it

It's a mix of various clips: at 0:23 you have a view of Le Dru and La Verte of Chamonix
