1960's A&T Squaw Valley Vintage Downhill Skis
In Seattle, Washington, Jorgen Aaland experimented with making a laminated ski, a ski made up of multiple layers of wood glued together. Recognizing the complexity involved in manufacturing such a ski, Aaland approached Ray Anderson who was a skier and President of a furniture manufacturing company. In 1933 Anderson joined with Ben Thompson to start the Anderson & Thompson Ski Company, later known as the A&T Ski Company. They implemented Aaland's ideas and began manufacturing laminated skis. Despite the fact that the lamination approach was Aaland's idea, the U.S. patent was issued to Ray Anderson in 1936.
These are some of the nicest skis you will ever find; completely mint and collectible.
