Most Iconic Skiing Photo?

555E

I thought it might have been the 505E because he died in March of 1976, was the 555E out yet? I don’t remember the date of the 555E release.

He probably got the new stuff BEFORE it was available to the public..

2022 WC Finals Downhill Finish

given MS' experience a month earlier, I offer this photo as representing,

" The thrill of victory... "

in book-end to my earlier post.

4x Overall WC Champion is lofty !

( ties her with Lindsey, and
AnneMarie was 6x Champ. )

There may be more iconic photos in MS' future,
But I will salute the happiness I see in this photo, given what MikaelaShiffrin had been through in the last two months and the last two years...

She is a Great Champion.
it is a joy and a thrill to watch her race !


Respectfully. skiJ

What a Bright light he was --

If I ever get home,
I think I will watch 'Steep' first.

Thank you. skiJ

can it have been fifty years ago... ?

J-CK on the Pro Tour (1973(?) )

I love this shot -
I believe it is a color plate in 'Comeback' ,
a significant book in my youth.

Thank you for this thread. skiJ

That is probably 1973, he was skiing on the pro tour on Rossignol skis back than. I remember seeing him when the pro tour came to Hunter Mt. NY. Those were great times when the pro tour came to town. Thank for sharing the picture.

Stein's and the Agony of Defeat for me. One for photo and one for video. There have been so many great skiing images over the years. I like this one of Plake.

in recognition of Mikaela Shiffrin's record breaking ( 88 career wins ) 2023 World Cup season, I'll offer this pair of pic.tures -
the first from Are ( where MS won this GS race ), and
I believe the second is from the 2023 World Cup finals.
The 2023 Overall World Cup championship is MS's fifth --

in accepting the award for 2023 Outstanding athlete - Female (espn), MS said there had been a lot of talk this past race season about records - and that to her, the importance of records is they serve to inspire future generations...

Congratulations! and
Thank You! Mikaela Shiffrin !

with Great Respect. skiJ
