Favorite personal pics from back in the day

Old hunting grounds with pop



Remington 740 Woods Master.  

Nice hunting grounds there ---- looks very similar to the farm land we hunt around here

I have zero old pics from my days at Smuggs

camera's weren't a thing back then

Ha! Again I'm in the same boat. I spent a season at Alpine and I have zero evidence. I did manage to shoot two or three rolls of low quality film my second season in Alaska. I'm in a lot of peoples' vacation pics of course.

Some great pics in this thread so far. Keep em coming.

My buddy and I at the 1980 Olympics...one of the most memorable experiences we ever had. Drove up in my '68 VW Bus from Jersey while it puked snow all the way from the Catskills to LP. Slept in the bus while parked on the Hilton (now High Peaks) parking deck. Found our friend Jimmy Vise the next day and stayed with him the rest of the time there. Parked the van and hitched all around. Took many trips in the beds of pickup trucks owned by the locals. Fun times.

RIP Jimmy

I scored that sweatshirt out of the lost and found

How is there not a question mark after the word adult?

I'm mad I didn't think of this first.

Haha! You dirtbag!

That freedom back then was pretty awesome.

Bahaha! I’m scratching that in now for sure!

Someone noticed the irony before but no one came up with putting a question mark there.

Those Olin’s are so classic.

Thought I was the man with those skis. I later skied a pair of VIs which I picked up at the factory in Connecticut which were supposedly a pair of factory experimental skis as they told me. Probably translated to a pair of seconds, but I left thinking I was dealt the ultimate hand. In all honesty, those VIs turned out to be a great pair of skis.

I remember my first season skiing there were a bunch of cool older kids that had those at Craigmuer.

They were a fun, soft freestyle ski no?
