Item Description
Legends of American Skiing follows the evolution of Alpine skiing from its rough-and-tumble days in the High Sierras in the mid-1800s to the 1936 winter Games when skiing first became an Olympic sport. Witness Toni Matt, the only man ever to ski straight down the near-vertical headwall on Mount Washington—visit Sun Valley when it was only a dream—Stowe's first trails—Aspen when it was still a mining town. Thrilling authentic footage and accounts by those who were there.
Deluxe 2 DVD Edition includes:
Disc 1: The uncut version of Legends of American Skiing plus an additional audio track available with the filmmaker's commentary; interactive guide to over 50 of America's Skiing Pioneers
Disc 2: The PBS version of Legends of American Skiing with added narration, revised scenes, and additional footage; Photo Gallery of stunning ski scenes from the period; The Filmmaker's Corner featuring production photographs and an interview with director Rick Moulton offering anecdotes and insight from the years of making Legends.
