Riders on Sleds on the Twin Tracks of a Summer Alpine Slide — Clip Details

Probably New Hampshire, circa 1977 home movie footage looks up the twin tracks of a summer alpine slide on a grassy hillside. A rider in a blue shirt on a red sled moves along the right-hand chute, while empty dark and red sleds sit on the left track above a lattice trestle and a dark DANGER sign. At the bottom a person in dark clothing waits in the run-out, and a silhouetted man in a cap edges into the right foreground. It is one continuous handheld Super 8 shot in bright sun.

Topics & Keywords

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: Helps any production that needs authentic circa 1977 footage of a summer alpine slide, a then-new attraction at American ski areas, for leisure, tourism or regional history stories.
Period detail: The twin slide tracks date the scene to 1976 or later, and the riders' casual summer clothing and the colour reversal palette may point to the late 1970s.
Home-movie behavior: A visitor films from the foot of the slide, looking up the tracks at other riders as other spectators drift past, rather than taking a posed or promotional view.
What appears in frame: Twin tracks running up a grassy slope, a rider in blue on a red sled, empty sleds on the left run, a lattice trestle, a DANGER sign near the base, and a silhouetted man in a cap.
Film character: Visible Super 8 grain, soft focus, saturated greens and reds with a violet cast on the tracks, deep shadow on near figures and a small bright blemish in one corner give it an archival texture.
Edit role: Works as a short insert or cutaway in a 1970s vacation sequence, or as a quick memory beat between scenery shots.
Historical context: Alpine slides came to the United States in July 1976 at Bromley, Vermont, with Attitash in New Hampshire opening the second that year, so this was a new kind of summer ride.
Research note: Copyright in the film is separate from likeness: riders and bystanders are seen from behind or in silhouette and are unidentified, and the ride belongs to an unnamed private operator, so check property and likeness rights for each use.
Research search match: Researchers may search for 1970s alpine slide footage, Super 8 summer ski area home movies, vintage New Hampshire vacation film or retro amusement ride clips.
Archive pairing path: Pair first with this reel's steam cog railway passengers, child feeding a deer and Story Land entrance sign clips, then other late-1970s White Mountains footage, then other vintage summer ride scenes.
