thedude4bides Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Anyone know where to purchase the old ones from 60's, 70's, 80's? I found this that had a 4 DVD package with one film from each decade. http://www.vintageskiworld.com/DVD-Box-Set-Journey-Through-the-Decades-p/dvd-decades.htm "This box set released in 2004 features titles from each Decade: Journey (2003), Endless Winter (1995), Steep and Deep (1985), and Ski A La Carte (1978). Each film is a veritable time capsule showing the hottest ski filming of the time. Highly recommended." I was able to download a free copy of the 1986 classic Beyond the Edge via WME because I went to see Ticket to Ride in the theater last fall. I want moar. Edited July 11, 2014 by thedude4bides Quote
thedude4bides Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Posted July 11, 2014 Endless winter is one of my favorites. Here is a free download of Ski time. Amazon.com has everything. Did you mean to post a link? Btw- amazon does not have anything from earlier than '92 (that I could find) with the exception of the same 4 DVD pack that I posted in the OP. Quote
thedude4bides Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Posted July 11, 2014 I just searched for Ski Time. Found the link. Clicked it. Got a "File Expired" error. Anyone have it? Also, i did find some old "used" VHS tapes on amazon that my initial search did not yield. A few reviews complained of "hard to see washed out picture" likely due to age. This is what I do when I'm bored at work. Balls. Quote
thedude4bides Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Posted July 11, 2014 Warren millers ski time is on Amazon. Oh and welcome to PASRI met you in person you stoner haha, thanks though:D 1 Quote

Johnny Law Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 Maybe go older, John Jay made some of the best skiing movies ever, Barrymore has maybe the first modern movies and Otto Lang pretty much invented the ski movie. Quote

Interesting. I'll look those up for sure man. I'm looking for old in general and I'm also looking for old Warren Miller specific stuff. The way-before-corporate-got-to-him stuff. Stuff from the 60's would be dope. I have Steep and Deep on VHS somewhere around here.Nice. I do still have a VHS player laying around! I don't smoke weed anymore. I don't smoke any less either.This made me laugh:D Quote

Given that GSS is one of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die. I think you are flirting with him by posting that. And unless you are finding me Warren Miller films in here you are trolling. 1 Quote

toast21602 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 I don't have time to troll today. Selling to many fucking tombstones. Last order payed for my jackson hole trip. Almost $10k and $24k worth in the past 24 hours...rack it!!!! Nice. Did you completely take over yet? Or does your dad still run the joint? Quote
thedude4bides Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Posted July 16, 2014 There are a ton on eBay. Just search for "Warren Miller VHS".According to this no films prior to 1978 are available.http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Warren_Miller_films I just ordered the Journey Through the Decades 4-disc set and Power of Snow Collection 4-disc set. That should keep me happy until August. Quote
toast21602 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 Not bad. I guess you get to pick when you close and open so it looks like the rat of your ski seasons from here on out should be good... Unless business dies!!! Quote
thedude4bides Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Toast I can pretty much take off any day I want as it is. I haven't taken a vacation day since I was in Colorado in April. On topic...when I was a newer skier I couldn't get enough of watching ski videos and reading ski magazines but now I don't really care. No need to buy any ski videos with YouTube and Vimeo..and ski forums are better than any ski magazines. Up till now most of my ski video watching consists of recent downhill events and crash compilations put on the interwebz... And GSS taking an epic cornice at BM. Killer, right? I didn't start skiing until I was 20/21 back in 2000. That's when shaped skis changed the game. Equipment and technique totally changed. I never experienced first hand what the old world was like. I recently saw a vid of a former olympic racer try old wood skis for fun and that got me interested in the development of modern equipment and technique. If you noticed in my posts, I am primarily interested in 50's, 60's, 70's films. Looks like the oldest WM film I can get is from 1978. Edited July 17, 2014 by thedude4bides Quote
toast21602 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Posted July 17, 2014 I can't remember where I saw it, and Google has not helped, but there was a special on TV about the history of skiing which I though was pretty cool. Showed everything from caveman shit to now. Maybe PBS? Not sure. Anyway... Quote

There are some WW2 era training/equipment films that are pretty interesting - part of this collection for 20$ http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Ski-Films-None/dp/B002MD3UNM Quote

Interesting... yeah, I've read about some of the old caveman stuff and some of the history on how skis were used in military. Bad ass shit right there.

Good find. I'll have to bundle this with something else to get free shipping. Maybe Greg Stump classics. Quote
