Relive the golden age of alpine skiing with seven classic titles from three legendary filmmakers Otto Lang, John Jay and Dick Barrymore in Classic Ski Films. See five full hours of ski history, from the world's very first theatrical ski film premiering at Radio City Music Hall to European glacier skiing! Winter Magic Around the World (1946-1970) by John Jay is part global travelogue and part thrilling ski spectacle while The Best of John Jay (1946-1970) is a greatest hits compilation covering Vail to Zermatt. The Basic Principles of Skiing (1941) by Otto Lang was used to train United States mountain troops. Ski Flight (1938), the first theatrical ski film, demonstrated the Arlberg System, and Skifully Yours (1939) focused on the star-studded Sun Valley ski scene in the late '30s. Dick Barrymore's The Performers (1971) ushered in the freestyle revolution and The Last of the Ski Bums (1967) follows the European exploits of three footloose American skiers.
