The first time at 1:46 and the second time at 2:36   nyfan(41) was referring to the one at 2:36

How do you feel about the one at 1:46?

Right.  After all that skiing and Schobobing I reckon John was tired.

That was a great pass he made behind that skier at 1:57 huh?

Not an easy thing to do on the long skis John had on.

I still ski on my 1960s 195cm Fischer Quick Super downhill skis and Kastinger boots...

You must be quite tall, Barry! I think the longest I've ever skied on were 171s. I can't imagine (at my height) trying to control 195-cm skis.  ;)

Kathy, I'm 5'9"  The Quick Super was marketed as a downhill racing ski.  The way I was measured for the skis was to stand with my arm raised high.  Measurement was taken from the ground to my wrist.

In those days we parallel skied, a very elegant style.  Snow plowing was difficult with long skis.  We stopped by keeping the skis parallel and pivoting 90ยบ and edging to stop.

Skiing style changed over the following years and skis got shorter with more pronounced hourglass silhouettes.

My Kastinger boots are first generation leather buckle boots. The bindings are cubco bindings which involved mounting steel plates on the boots' heels and toes.  Cubco bindings were noted for adjustable and dependable release..."For skiers who have to go to work Monday."  :)

^^

I have such fond memories of parallel skiiing and pivoting to stop (ideally, smartly sending a spray of snow outwards). I would so love to ski again. Too bad I'm stuck in one of the flattest states of the union.  :(

Which added to the elegance.  :)
