Me and Killy killed that winter, back in '67! That's Jean Claude Killy! We owned that Mountain! (Cannon) I sprang on to the scene middle o January, 16 yers old. Killy was at the top o his game (sport), came prancing into town (Franconia) with his French Team cohorts: Guy Perrillat, Georges Maudit, Leo Lacroix more or less dominating. The first "world cup" races ever staged in North America, and the most brilliantly executed, by Killy. Winning the three events, five runs, the downhill by almost a second! A once in a generation ski racer riding up with me on the "tram" for our 'training" runs, spying on his "equipment", namely VR-17/Dynamic, 220 (+) cm French downhill racing skis. I was on "Heads". How I got my hands on a pair o "Dynamic" slalom skis, those "cuttin edge" (pardon the pun) racing skis: one guy, Quint Boyle/Skimeister Ski Shop.
What we was doing? pioneering the "carve o the turn", that is, taking full advantage o the parabolic shape o the ski
