Erik,

Thanks for reminding us all of the beauty we were surrounded by! I was at Aiglon with Richard and Fiona and had dinner on a few occasions with the family. Interesting to hear the names of Zurbriggen, Morerod and Nadig in the background. All great champions. Adam B.

This is superb! What memories!! So great to be able to see this and see so many familiar faces from those wonderful times ... How young we all were!! Thank you!!

Thanks for uploading this. For people of the younger generation of the Lötschental, like me, it is really interesting to see how vastly things changed since then. The ski area nowadays tops at 3111, there are more beds in Lauchernalp then in Wiler and there are triple as many lifts as there where in 1974. Again, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting a comment, Harry. By the way, you might recognize Austin Elliott @ 15:50. And of course that's Richard McLennan who delivers the bravura solo performance in the deep powder at the very end.
