Ghost Town Skiers

About This Movie

Ghost Town Skiers is one of those early ski documentaries that really captures the raw essence of the sport in its infancy. Filmed in 1973, it showcases local skiers carving their way through distinctive terrain that feels almost nostalgic now. The pacing is laid-back, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of the mountain culture, with some unexpected humor sprinkled throughout. The practical effects of the skiers navigating various conditions are pretty charming—no fancy CGI here, just pure skiing. It’s interesting how you'll spot familiar faces if you're part of that scene, and there's this sense of camaraderie that shines through. It’s a snapshot of the era, a time capsule that brings back the thrill of the powder days, and it’s genuinely enjoyable to watch.
