This has to be one of the most incredible vintage videos I’ve ever seen. A short promo clip about Winter Park Resort in Colorado. Titled Mary Jane after the resort’s Mary Jane mountain, which became a part of the resort in 1975, this clip shows the glory of the resort in 1976, including the ski train, lessons, and the competitions that go down on the mountain.
Some of you might have personally experienced Mary Jane and Winter Park in the 1970s and I’d personally love to hear any wild stories from those days. It looks like it was a blast back then. No shade to Winter Park or Mary Jane today, I’m personally a huge fan of the Colorado resort.
Also how about that opening song? Literally about riding the train to Winter Park to get some skiing in, and it’s not incredibly cheesy! I dug around to see if it existed anywhere on the internet and wasn’t able to come up with anything, but I’d love to see it if someone else stumbles upon it.
