Inspired by a post from @SBrown on another thread and my inability to upload, I shall post an old grainy video of myself. It is from 3/26/94 and originally shot on Hi-8, then to VHS, played back undigitized on a monitor and re-shot with my phone, hence the extremely low quality. Fortunately it is also extremely short. I have others that I'll bludgeon you with later, might even get them cleaned up some. Post 'em if ya got 'em.

I like it.
I have a few hi-8 and VHS tapes, but no way to play them. The last VHS player in the house died a few years ago.. Actually, it is possible the video camera might still be able to play them ... I happen to know it is in the furthest corner of the bedroom closet behind stuff I never wear.

Beyond awesome @SBrown

You like that quick shot of ABasin at the beginning? Looks just the same. I guess I should list where all that was ... it was during winter 72/73, I got those red death traps for Christmas 72, I was 4. That was our yard in CO Springs, then footage driving across South Park, then my first ski day, at Copper Mountain.

A Bay hasn't changed a bit! And I was almost positive that the resort skiing was at Copper. Is that the beginner area skier's right of American Eagle?
