Tuckerman's 1952 - 1954

Saw this link to a Flickr gallery on another website I frequent, and figured there would be some appreciation of them on this site.

Thanks for these photos. I haven't seen them in a while. Perhaps next spring I should head up to Tux and dress just like those old-timers.

Those pictures were previously posted - a few years back. I remember commenting in that thread how cool they were. The photographer had an interesting life...

^ Amazing engineer for sure. It's funny how ski places keep popping up on his bio: moved to Aspen, won Telluride Tech Festival Award of Technology.

It's amazing how trashed that place was back then...

Actually brought a tear to my eye. Those people would be in their late 70's into their 80's now if they are still around.

Very cool. Skiing Tuck's is on my "before I die" list.

I guess the first thing that took me was that there was color film back then!

As said above I can't even beging to image what those skis must've felt like under foot.

It's pretty crazy to think people have been coming in masses to that spot for ever.

Definitely on my bucket list!

If it wasn't for all the old cars in the parking lot, the hair styles and the 10 foot skis a few of those pics could pass for only a couple years old.

Yeah, I was thinking similarly; the cars and skis and maybe a little bit of the fashion give it away. Otherwise it just looks like a bunch of hipsters skiing at Tucks.

That and all the trees snapped off and open fires.. Glad that stopped...
