Abstract: "Before Greg Stump, before Warren Miller, before John Jay, there was Sidney Shurcliff, the father of American ski films. Ski America takes you to Mount Hood, Alta, Sun Valley, Cannon, Sugar Bowl, Cranmore and more, guided by the likes of Dick Durrance, Alf Engen, and Toni Matt. Sidney Shurcliff and his wife traveled the country between 1938 and 1940, recording the new sport of skiing on color film, then presenting lectures in person to audiences of enthusiastic skiers east and west. The New England Ski Museum has resurrected his three Ski America films, and compiled the best footage into one DVD with historical commentary by E. John Allen." -- Container.
