Base of Dollar in the 50's w/ Baldy backdrop

Kicking it in Sun Valley at Dollar. Check out the Baldy mountain in the background.

classic poster

Wooden skis, neck tie, formal jacket tanned skin wearing a ball cap out touring in the mountains and schushing down hill all day long. Good corn tours under sunny skies. The classic poster just sayd it all.

1st Chair on BMT in 1941

Basic one seater with a wrap! This is a shot of the first chair lift on Baldy in 1941

Paying tribute to the last days of Baldy this season I went looking for various photos that might reflect the past glory of skiing on baldy and offer a view of the past. This shot from the 1950's show the rfashion, graceful ski arch of wood forcused around by leather boots and the valley far below sparcley populated looking east off into Trail Creek.
