Old Skiing Advertisements

[Nick]

Let's flash back with video and pics of ads from the past !

Yeah, that back to the 80's add.....

Still have all the stuff. Clothes don't fit. Inside of boots disintegrated. Ski's are straight 195's, which was a move up from 175's, which were preceeded by 205's....

But, those 195's were replaced with shaped 155's, replaced three years ago by my current Legend's....

Oh, yeah those are cambered, I'm supposed to buy rockered now.

Yup, a reminder of all that $ spent.

Good thing I spend more $ at the bar forgetting what I looked like in neon colors.....

Cool find! Maybe I'm watching the wrong channels at the wrong time but I can't remember the last time I saw an ad for ski gear on TV, let alone an ad for bindings.

It sounds like that ad was likely during the olympics (Lake Placid) ... probably targeted to people watching the ski events.

Binding television marketing. Now there's something you dont see every day.

skinet.com had a gallery of old ski ads a few months ago.

This one still makes me laugh out loud.

mid-90's (I think?) rip on the original song. Except I remember them smashing the guitar not the dude's head...

Years ago, a friend had a promotional video from Alta. This was was back in the VHS days btw. Anways, it always made me laugh. The narator said "Now don't go telling everyone about us!" Uhhhh, then why are you making marketing videos?
