Wrisley Skis, made in Lake Placid

Adk Jeff
One of my ski buddies is the grandson of Loren Wrisley, the subject of this very cool article that ran on NCPR yesterday:

Adirondack Attic: Wrisley skis made in Lake Placid

I'd like to help my buddy track down a pair of these skis.  If anybody's got a lead on a pair, let me know.

Thanks!

Awesome, thx SJ!

Here's a follow-up article that ran in the Lake Placid news yesterday with a lot of fascinating history about Wrisley's involvement in developing the early ski trails on Little Whiteface.  Cool stuff for anyone interested in Whiteface history.
