Legends & Lost Stories of Skiing History


Listen Later

From the legendary Crazy Canucks to the evolution of chairlifts, skiing is full of stories and people who shaped the sport we know today. In this episode, I sit down with Blake (@oldbaldskier on instagram) — a passionate ski history enthusiast — to explore some of the most interesting moments and characters that left their mark on skiing.


We talk about:

 • The rise of the Crazy Canucks and their impact on ski racing

 • How chairlifts changed skiing forever

 • The personalities and events that defined different eras

 • How Walt Disney helped shape the green circle to black diamond trail ratings we still use today

 • Fun facts and historical quirks every skier will enjoy


If you love skiing and want to understand the roots of the sport, this conversation will give you new appreciation for where skiing has come from and where it’s heading.
