In reply to Douglas Cook. Do you know what happened to him?

It is Rudi. I worked for him at Jiminiy Peak.

Also guessing Rudi Wyrsch…once on the cover of “Skiing” Magazine dressed in top hat and tails. Can’t find a copy right now but probably a spring issue.

I also think Rudi Wyrsch. I think for some time connected with Mt. Snow VT and than later with Pleasant Mt. (now Shawnee Peak) in Bridgeton, ME

I believe the girl/ woman with Buddy is Linda Myers from Mammoth Mountain, not Barb Ferries Henderson.
Please check it out and ask Barb for confirmation.

My guess is Rudi Wyrsch, known as the Clown Prince of Skiing.

I believe this is Top Hat Jackson, the original ski bum in Aspen Colorado. I remember seeing him on several visits to Aspen.

So sorry but I believe the woman in that picture is Linda Meyers who also skied with Buddy in the Olympics.
