Thrills and Spills (History of Skiing in New England) Ski Video
|
by New England Ski Museum

This ski video is a nostalgic portrayal of skiing in New England from the 40's through the start of snowboarding. It carries one back to the times when winter sports blossomed throughout the Northeast, in Stowe and North Conway, Woodstock and Lake Placid. They include scenes of ski-joring behind horses, cars, even airplanes, ski races up main strees, oxen erecting rope tows and all those places where people enjoy winter. From Maine to Connecticut, these scenes depict winters that seemed to have deeper drifts and higher snow banks. The production captures the era of small neighborhood ski and sledding hills, as well as the downhill skiing boom of the sixties. It shows the lure of the cross country touring of the seventies, the rediscovery of the telemark turn, the birth of snowboarding and finds the roots for the extreme skiing movement that crowns the end of this century of winter sport. This film is built around interviews with over twenty notables, including Brad Washburn, Clarita Heath Bright, Warren Chivers, Bobo Sheen, Brooks Dodge, Tom Corcoran, Mickey Cochran, Sherman and Petie Howe, Donna Weinbrecht, and Jake Burton. Color Approximately 60 minutes
