All Things Miller

I think @Royal has some picture posting to do here...aren’t the blues a low number too?

What, No mention of the EPIC(did I just write that) road trip to retrieve the above skis? c'mon, let us know what these were really worth to you by telling "the rest of the story"

No need to let people know how far along the spectrum I am with my disorder. I will say this. The skis were in Sooke BC on Vancouver Island and involved a 3 hour return ferry ride. Pretty place, lots of windy back country roads, very rural. Easy to get lost which I did twice. It will be a long time before I go on a trip for skis like that again.

Is this relevant?)

they are about 1854. not too low. we finally got enough snow to start thinking about getting out on the millers. then I'll get them back to you.

Rossi Smash has 4 different versions in assorted colours (and flexes).

Here they are...

No hurry. It’s raining from here to Montreal. Snow going down the gutter.

I've wanted to post a pic of this for years but there were a bunch of trees blocking a clear view. but the trees have been cut down. so here it is, the original MILLER factory in Orem,Utah. not sure what is in there now. evolution was there for a while and then some snowboard manufacturing.

Sadly I pasted the factory just last week and half the sign had been taken done. Here's a NOS pair of Hot shots I sold to a couple who collects.

Miller xc skis

Well used but not abused although the 170s have a bit of reverse camber : ) Not nearly soft as the yellow Softs I posted earlier, $7 for both.

170, 180s 95-78-85

Anyone remember the M-500 binding or have a set in their collection?
This add is from 1972 and they are claiming World's 'first step in binding BUT the Look Grand Prix heels had been around for close to a decade at that point so maybe the claim is first American made?

Those would be quite a "get". I don't think that claim is referring to the M-500 if that is what you are inferring. They are not saying the M-500 is the first, only that the maker of the first is presenting the M-500. It still can be argued who made the first step-in, or as the wording on the box says more ambiguously "step-in type.

Those are some odd looking bindings.

Did the Union ski boots ever make it to production? Has anyone seen them in the flesh? or skied them?

I was wondering that as well. I had never heard of them until I saw Gregg Glasco's post.

hmmm - Those skis look surprisingly similar to another ski brand.

 

[Mack]

Here are some more of the Miller skis.

And will look to see if the bindings are in the Black Hole!!!!!!!
