Ski the Outer Limits has to be the greatest ski film of all time. I saw it in the late 60's in a ski lodge in New Hampshire and never forgot it. That film has inspired to push my skiing limits for over 40 years. The DVD is great, as are the guys at Serac. Thanks for posting this!
I used to love that silly song, "A-who, a-who is a-he..." Art and Roger really rocked back in the 60's, and so did Suzy who followed them. Funny thing is, they were all racers - you really have to know your edges to do that stuff, especially on those long boards. BTW, Barry must have been awesome to have such an insane chute named after him (I'm assuming it's for him), like Dale Velzy with V-land.
Me too! Fact, I like much of the music used in this film, especially the classical pieces torward the end. Love to find it somewhere! But unfortunately there's no mention in the credits...
@Dimension150 Just click on SeracFilms name and you can drop them a note to order a DVD. Or simply do a Google search for the DVD. I'm looking forward to owning this collection of ski films, already have many of the old Warren Miller ski films too.
Thanks for that info. Sounds good. I'm a collector of 16mm films, so I'm trying to decide on the DVD. As far as splices, my print only has 2, with no content missing and very few scratches. Excellent color too! I lucked out. I have also probably watched this outstanding film over 100 times...I could probaby recite the narration by heart!
"Ski the Outer Limits" on 16mm was the ONLY way to see it back in the day, and still is as far as I'm concerned! I was lucky enough to purchase an excellent 16 print from a film library that closed. However, I am curious now about the DVD...Is it GOOD quality? I purchased a copy of it on VHS for my Father several years ago, and the picture quality was HORRIBLE! Looked like a dupe of a dupe of a dupe... I paid $49 bucks for it too!
I've received my DVD and I'm quite happy with it. The lens-lint and scratches are like the original 16mm film and give me a nice flashback to my early obsession with skiing. At least the DVD is not full of splices like the film I had. I remember how using the freeze-frame on the projector was supposed to make a little glass heat shield drop into place to protect the stationary film from being melted by the bulb. That shield didn't always work and I became an expert at splicing.
Thanks for this! I'd love to get a copy. My Dad had access to a film library when I was a kid in the 60's and 70's and I watched "Ski the Outer Limits" over 100 times (I kept track) on a 16mm film projector. It's basically how I learned to ski.
Yeah! Thanks for this! I've gotta get a copy. My Dad had access to a film library when I was a kid in the 60's and 70's and I watched "Ski the Outer Limits" over 100 times (I kept track) on a 16mm film projector. It's basically how I learned to ski.
"Ski the Outer Limits" has been an incredible source of inspiration for me to do just that all my life! I'd love to get these classics! Thanks for the great post!

What a sweet discovery! I'm only 30 years old, but I really love watching old ski movies. It really puts a smile on my face, and I love smiling :-D

Wow...I used to watch this as a young kid at the Hostel Lodge in Teton Village WY when I was 15. That was 40 years ago !!
It was a great flick.....I saw Ski the Outer Limits no fewer than 100 times back then.

Thanks for posting this! "Ski the outer Limits" is the best, but I've always wanted to see the other films by Roger Brown and Barry Corbet!
