My HS sport was figure skating, or rather artistic skatimg. I had to do patch- the 8 figures, but I learned all kinds of footwork, spins and jumps, up to successfully landing double axel, triple salchow and toe loop. In the early 70's, in my 20's I switched to skiing and was a developer of ballet skiing- application of artistic skating to skiing. We used short skis and long poles. It did not become an Olympic event, and is pretty much dead. Name changed to accroski for a while.

I was an all around freestyler, doing ballet, mogula and aerials. I skied Corbets quite a few times. My favorite run at Jackson Hole.

This is from 8mm and VHS 8mm as an older fellow, and back in my prime, ballet and moguls.
