Description

Relive the Golden Age of Skiing - from 1940s Hollywood coming to Sun Valley, Idaho for lessons, to the birth of hotdogging in the 1970s. This is one of the best ski film collections you can buy -- all on DVD! Includes John Jay's Olympic Holiday, Winter Magic, Ski Down the Years and Best of John Jay. Otto Lang's Basic Principles, Ski Flight and Skillfully Yours. AND PERHAPS THE BEST, two of pioneer film maker Dick Barrymore's works are in the box: The Performers, and Last of the Ski Bums. Made for a mere 12,000 (by ski bums), and released as a feature film, Ski Bums was the marked departure of ski film making that led directly to our modern skiing adventure films. Includes amazing footage of early powder skiing, including double-lens goggle inventor Bob Smith getting Jackson Hole face shots. We can't recommend this film enough -- and to have the others in the same set -- incredible! 9 classic ski films on 8 DVDs, beautiful packaged, perfect gift! (Please see Barrymore biography in book section.) Noted as Films of Distinction and Treasures of American Cinema. Released in 2005.
