Some crews at Alta Ski Area unearthed some vintage film footage shot between the 1930s and 1970s, and in it they found some pretty unique and rare lost footage. It shows skiers at Utah’s Sundance Resort back when it was still Timp Haven.
The ski area was initially founded as Timp Haven by the Stewart family in 1944, remaining as such until Robert Redford purchased the area in the 1960s and renamed it to Sundance Mountain Resort.
It’s believed that the footage was captured by champion ski-jumper and Alta ski school director Sverre Engen, brother of the legendary Alf Engen. Shoutout Alta for digging up this footage and sharing it with Sundance, and shoutout to Sundance for sharing the footage with the world.
