Hey excellent research M@ (more rep points no doubt). I love the retro stuff.. anything ski related in NH 30/40's.... now are you suggesting Sig is doing a jump turn naked? Gotta have long poles for those turns! :jumpturn:

I suggest the skier doing the ski leg for the TimeforTuckerman Inferno 2005 team should make ALL their turns jump turns like these.. I lend em my long poles even...

Oooohhh! You found one of the old articles I've had for years, along with tons of others. I guess I'll have to step up the pace and transcribe them faster for your enjoyment!

Ya come on Harkin... give us some more history! Photos too.

Harkin have you read Allen Guttmanns' From Ritual to Record: The Nature of Modern Sports? It's supposed to have a few pages about the Inferno and mentions the Hochgebirge Ski Club (Boston) that started it all.

I wonder if these guys knew fear... I be scared hsitless if I had to ski on that gear..

I mean - look at the stuff they're on... People bite it all the time in modern alpine gear.. They must've gone really slow or something...

Those skis can be that slow... heck Toni Matt Schussed the headwall and down to Pinkham in 6 min 29 seconds! :eek:

mmmmm... long boards!

[Skilasnow]

I'd be afraid to do most lift served stuff on that gear.... Those guys had balls bigger than all of ours put together
