Dick Barrymore's 1971 release uses footage shot over a five-year period. Highlights of the 90-minute film include Jean Claude Killy winning the 1966 FIS downhill championship in Portillo (Guy Perillat threw a ski on the final bump), and 15 minutes of powder, bumps and jumps in Aspen, featuring Tom LeRoy, John Clendenin, Bob Smith, and Barrymore's future wife Betsy Glenn. Restored and digitized by Phonotone Movies.
