Ski ballet like it's 1989

Season 2025 Episode 34 | 2m 49s | CC

Ski ballet, also known as "acroski" was a two-time Winter Olympics demonstration sport that flourished in the 70s and 80s before fading in the 90s. Decades later, Monarch Mountain and KHEN Community Radio in Salida united to host an end-of-season ski ballet competition celebrating Monarch's 85th season and raising money for KHEN and Monarch's nonprofit, Monarch Mountain Community Outreach.
