Roger Cotton Brown transformed the art of the ski film when in 1967 and 1968, with the late Barry Corbet, he created The Incredible Skis and Ski the Outer Limits. In slow-motion sequences edited to classical music, skiers were filmed doing royal christies and variations of wedel turns, hopping spectacularly through mogul fields and making sensuous deep powder turns. Ski movie-making changed forever. Brown went on to do 20 more ski films, including The Moebius Flip, Magic Skis, and the comedic The Great Ski Chase, winning numerous awards. In this video, Brown talks with Rick Moulton of the International Skiing History Association about how he got started in ski movie-making.
