Ira Riklis’ First Pair of Skis (photo)

The middle pair of skis pictured here, as described by Ira Riklis: Attached is a picture of Head skis from the late 1960’s.  The first pair are the Head Standards.  The next are the Head 360’s, like the pair I bought myself using my bar mitzvah money.  The last pair is named for Jean Claude Killy, the French racer who at the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble became only the second man ever (and still) to win all three men’s alpine events.
