November 1969: In November, Argosy Magazine publishes the article “Banff or Bust.” Written by Hal Steeger and photographed the previous July, the article presented a saucy photo-feature of the “fastest-growing winter sport in North America.” Shot along a route from the awe-inspiring Athabasca Glacier to Banff, Alberta, the article featured Argosy staffers and bikini-clad models romping through a series of lighthearted contests. For the trek, Argosy editors culled fifty-two manufactures down to the leading eleven, including Trail-A-Sled, Inc. The specific image presented above was touted as “a photographic first for a national magazine” and featured Scorpion’s Barrie Deakin in the chute. Courtesy Wayne & April Small - Argosy Magazine.
