Holy crap. Where the heck did you find those? Nice.

Man, oh man! I have been working on a pair of these for a while;I had to OD on low dose aspirin and fish oil capsules to stave off a heart attack before I read the answer. Luckily, my quest is still alive. Nice skis!
P.S. Here is a Look Nevada toe piece pin recently found. The detail is REALLY nice!SANY0121.jpg

The plot thickens then. There's 2 pairs in the world?

Oh Dude, I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to invoke total nerdism into this. I've been outed! damn

I just bought some original press photos of Billy Kidd. What's cool here is that this first foto was taken in 1970 at the ski resort across the road from where I now live. I am in the crowd somewhere. This was a Hart Ski promotion in September of that year. No snow of course and too warm to use the snowmakers, so they spent all day trucking in 100s of bags of crushed ice so they could set up the slalom course. On the right, he's standing in front of the old ski shop which is long since gone and replaced.

Billy Kidd at Bintz Apple "Mountain", now that brings a smile to my face. I learned to ski there in the early 60s, what was the original hill that he built, 200'?
