I remember watching Warren Miller films in the Stowe town hall, and Warren Miller standing by the screen , narrating them live
I remember when @Lorenzzo posted a pick on the former board of him skiing in jeans and sporting a porn mustache that should be posted here.
Here you go.
I remember when...
I think I have those ski, boots, bindings and poles in my inventory.
That reminds me: I remember when... I could do kick turns.
I remember when Soloman invented a new way to size skis. ^ Those weren't measured in cm. Though everyone used a 200cm ski to check them.
Before that, Salomon invented a new way to size boots, that didn't go over well either but that and the "Powerr Rating of skis, when you thought about it, really made sense. The boot sizing concentrated on the back half of the foot and the volume of the ankle. The PR of skis, I skied a PR8, the 1S Giant Slalom (pictured ) was about a 212, the 2S Round Turn Slalom was a 205, the 3S J-turn SL was about 202. The Mogul skis in a PR8 were basically the 2S and 3S, one size down. So the Force 3S PR8 was a Equipe 3S PR7.I remember when Soloman invented a new way to size skis. ^ Those weren't measured in cm.

Around the time Swatch invented a new way to tell time.
No one liked either...
Probably "Swatch Time" is in wikipedia.
"Power Level" probably isn't.
You most likely are correct, it is tough get old, the memory is not what it use to be and that is what this thread is all about. But did they merge the two mountains with a trail that connected the two areas?Zero G was at Vernon Valley. Pipeline was the steep trail at Great Gorge North.
No I do not think anyone said that but I remember a photo posted by an English gent with a vintage ski outfit that fits the description.Late to the party, but wow - I remember many of the things already listed!
Did anyone mention skiing in heavy corduroy knickers with even heavier wool socks that went up over the knee?!
212cm for a PR 8?? What's a 9?Before that, Salomon invented a new way to size boots, that didn't go over well either but that and the "Powerr Rating of skis, when you thought about it, really made sense. The boot sizing concentrated on the back half of the foot and the volume of the ankle.

Don't recall that one. But I will say (unless Im wearing shorts) that in general I just have to wear all socks that go clear over my calf's and almost up to my knees.Late to the party, but wow - I remember many of the things already listed!
