if you haven't seen this fine Dick Barrymore movie from 1969 your missing out.

available on netflix.

The Last of the Ski Bums

Awesome. Is it not amazing how good he skis for the gear he is on. I am old enough to remember the next gen of ski gear in the mid-70s, but never skied on the gear from the late 60s. Yet I am sure it sucked. LOL.

Now I have to watch this movie -- love the intro. I'm sure Lowell has seen it, but he was the first one I thought of... right up his alley.

was that offpiste and amar, there at the end..?   

This classic flick seems the template for many of Warren Miller's later efforts. The 'plot' is funny and I love how the skiing sequences flow, rather than being chopped up by fifteen cuts per minute like much modern ski porn.  The DVD is also available from Amazon.

Nice find northwesty.
I think I might have seen Gary Vogt's name in the credits...  :
