About this footage
Ski footage makes up most of the winter reels. Skiers in red jackets cut down narrow trails between snowy evergreens, children in numbered bibs ski with instructors, a man falls on a crowded slope, and a jumper in a yellow jacket comes off a ramp while spectators in heavy coats watch. A banner across a brick street advertises a "Jr Ski Jump" on a Saturday in March, and a wooden sign in the woods points to the Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway.
Summer clips come mostly from Catskill. Kids run through a lawn sprinkler, a man hangs laundry on a line at a tent campsite, and a woman in a white swim cap wades into a lake. In New York City the camera stands at the curb for parades, filming pipers in tartan kilts, marching bands in tall plumed hats, men in overcoats behind a large American flag, and one band marching at night.
This set works for winter sports, Catskills summers or 1962 street parades.
