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
