Trackhead, do you have a way for us to see your footage/viddy?

Did/do you know Steve by chance? He's a hella piece of work fosho. Mellow but sooooo intense.

I never had the opportunity to meet him, but if I remember correctly I tried to, or maybe considered interviewing him for a historical perspective.

I have the video on DVD. Gotta remember, it was made on zero budget in 2006 and I basically had no videography/audio skills at the time. It was made out of passion to tell the story of the Tetons, had very low production quality, and was just a work of obsession. We put in thousands of hours and made zero dollars, but had a blast. I will probably put it on Youtube just for historical reasons because so many of the "old timers", even before Briggs, had amazing stories that I think need to be maintained. I'll post a link when I do that.

Please do and if there's an available copy of the dvd I'd buy one.

I know most of those peeps in the short that I saw.
Huidekooper, both Newcombs, Bill B., Doug C., Sava Malachowski, Betty Woolsey, Frank Ewing;
Koch tumbling Teewinot or Moran? Hans and Newc skiing the sick cooley on the north face of the Grand or Buck? With Halsey Hewson on pins iirc.



Piton productions?

Piton productions?

Yes to all.

Never interviewed Hans J, did chat with Newcomb (Jr/Sr), Huidekooper, others. Lots of historical footage donated from archives probably now lost forever.

Such an awesome history there. It is, in some ways, the heart of alpinism in our country. Not to discount Fred Beckey and all the others who were early pioneers in other ranges.

You mean ' Fall Line ', right?

This one...



And Steve Shea used to be my neighbor, still lives down the way from Kokomas...

Epic stories from him re: steep skiing with the euros.

As I recall he said the fall was staged.

That vid was/is awesome.
Shout out to Bob Carmichael & Greg Lowe for the short film. .
We used'ta bring that to the vill cen cafe, on VHS, when they'd play "pre-trgz" Bennie & etal stuff all day & say here, "pop this shit in..." Got some attention, as hardly nobody knew what "Extreme Skiing" term meant then.

I called Bob & bought a copy years ago to buy a copy, to preserve, & now I can't find it...

Note: all the binder changes, esp around the 5 min mark.. soli 444s, 555s 727s... & I could swear there mighta been some Spademans along to he line...

Kudos to Shea!

The music is GONG, after Daevid Allen left, but that's GONG for sure.
