Vintage Alta POWDER
How about this Alta footage! You may have seen this last year on the AltaCam Ski Forum, but a few weeks ago Mark (the guy who shot the film in 1974) posted a new, high-quality version. The best part about this: Although there are more people and tracks nowadays, the blower pow hasn’t changed a bit…thanks Mark!

Thanks for the comment Brent! Glad you liked it. Definitely a classic. Drop me a line when you head out to the Wasatch and we’ll ski it up. GM

I was there, sitting back and bouncing those 205s around. Love the lack of competition for the snow. And did I see some Hanson wax ski boots in there?

If I ever make my way out there, you will certainly here from me. If the snow is like what the video shows, I may never leave!!!
