Oldest structure on the mountain, built in 1938. Yes, they invented the chairlift here, and put in three to the top in that year.

Nobody associates Leica and skiing today, but Google "Leica 1930 Skiing" and you can see how Leica made skiing famous and skiing made Leica famous. That is not an exaggeration. After the war, the craze of great snow photography was suppressed along with Leni Riefenstahl, who played the genre to the hilt in stills and on film. She had a legendary feud with the "original" ski instructor, Hannes Schneider, who rebuffed her advances and ended up in jail and then fled Austria for the US. Stefan Kruckenhauser was perhaps the most famous Leica skiing shooter and one of the founders of the Austrian Ski Technique. Not a Nazi, he became a war photographer on the Russian front. He ran the national ski education program in Austrian after the war.
At Sun Valley, half the Austrian Instructors joined the U-boat prisoners, and the other half joined the 10th Mountain Division, which took very heavy casualties below the snow line in Italy. The first Ski School Director died on the Russian Front, while the founder of the resort became ambassador to the Soviet Union and spent much of the war in Moscow. They had been fast friends. A crazy world.
The same reasons the Leica is fantastic on the street, makes it equally so for skiing. I am reviving the tradition, hopefully without the drama behind the scenes

Interesting ski history Charlie. I have taken my Leica(s) downhill skiing a few times and many times for backcountry skiing. On another note, what did they do with the original chairlifts at Sun Valley?

This one was not the very first, but close. Built fall of 36, I think. It's the oldest standing chair in the world. Some very old seats are privately owned and in people's houses. The Union Pacific at the behest of Averell Harriman founded the resort and hired the famous PR man Steve Hannigan, who got Maimi Beach going. They ran a direct train from LA to SV, and used hollywood extensively to promote. So we have many gorgeous images, like Louis Armstrong on skis, shot with speed graphics, in that very slick still style, which line the walls in all the lodges.

Great images on this page as usual - love the b&w and film images in particular.
A few new images from Greece taken with the Leica M10 and Zeiss ZM 35/1.4 - I just love how sharp this combination is and the non existence of colour aliasing artifacts with the new Leica sensor

House was flooded during Hurricane Sandy (we live in Long island, NY)... and they are just now raising it. I think their insurance company required then to raise... They had been living in it after they repaired it... and just recently (yesterday)... began raising.
I will get the details
