Nice, in the 60's I was a kid at Hunter.

Looks funny seeing a racer going around gates, planting his poles doesn't it?

Those darn poles are as tall as the gates!!!

Nice!

Looks like the first couple minutes were taken on the Lake Placid Club property or somewhere in town, and not at Whiteface. A little before my time to know exactly where that rope tow was located....

Surprised to see snowmaking pipes on the mountain in the 60s. I thought that didn't come about until at least the early 70s.
