My parents took me to see this when it was released - not at a theatre but an auditorium - pretty packed too. I was only 9 years old but as soon as I hit the slopes I was doing (badly) royal christies and looking for bumps to jump off. I mainly raced as a kid but did take a detour for a few years in my early teens to get into "hot dog" skiing - then back to racing. Some of the skiers in this film are still alive and active as far as I know. Eg: Art Furrer is living in Switzerland and is well into his 80's. Suzy Chaffee is in her 70's now, living in Vail. Herman Gollner learned to flip watching Stein Erikson and was the first to perform the mobius - as far as I know he's still alive - probably skiing and climbing in his 80's. Remember too that these skiers are all doing their tricks on skinny, long skis - over 200 cm. And check out the boots. You can see Raichle Fiber jets on one skier - and you can see why a boot top fracture was one of the most common injuries back then. So great that this movie lives on on TH-cam - brought back a lot of memories.
I remember seeing this film in 1968 in the lobby of the Bear Valley Hotel, Bear Valley California. Heavily influenced by San Francisco, this film was emblematic of that generation and the times. The fledgling ski resort hosted Club Med and the fastest downhill race in North America. In 1968 it was the ski resorts first year with runs like Strawberry Fields , yellow submarine, and groovy gully.
I remember seeing this in 1969 or 70, actually. My sister and I were in a ski club in Denver called "Tyro", and we watched this movie, as well as several others. I guess it made an impression on me, because I even remembered the title.
Who can deny summit films inc (Roger Brown & Barry Corbet) fostered the birth and innovation of Freestyle Skiing. Imagine a once banned Sport persevered with th...e momentum of - Ski The Outer Limits, The Moebius Flip, Ski The Outer Limits, and The Incredible Skis. Not to deny the significance of Stein Ericksen's acrobatics, summit brought this Sport to Reality! An inspiring Legacy for Roger & Barry! (if time is an issue, please view the final 5 mins from "23:00")

Bob Theobald was the first guy to formally introduce the mobius areal.

it took them 27 minutes to get to the actual flip! Don't bore yourself!
Skiing before the Ridge Hippies took over
(not-a-spoiler-really) Anyone else watch Avengers:Endgame and think "Tony wants to do a Mobius Flip"?)
