I love his skiing films. New young daredevil faces, extraordinary scenery and slopes from around the world. He gave so much to us all but especially those talented and lucky enough to be part of his films. I even enjoy *most* of the music in them. What a life!

After he retired we saw a preview of his next ski movie at a community center on Orcas Island, WA where he had a summer home. He didn't narrate it but was there commenting on it. I think it was the first one that Sony had made and he did apologize for the music...:^)

I was never a skier - friction was invented to keep you upright :^) - but enjoyed going to see his movies with our skiing friends in the Santa Monica Civic Center when he would personally narrate them. The photography was always spectacular.

I always thought he lived full time at the Yellowstone Club. Had I known he was on Orca Island I'd have made the effort to go meet him when I lived across the straight. A chat with him would have been a special life time memory.
