From its oiled wood floors, to its woolens and dry goods, not much has changed at Lahout’s Country Clothing and Ski Shop, America’s oldest ski outfitter, in Littleton, New Hampshire. Since 1920, three generations of Lahouts have run the iconic store, but it was 93-year-old local legend Joe Lahout Sr.—he stopped skiing at 90—who tossed in some modest snowsports equipment in the 1940’s and gave life to the burgeoning ski community. The unblemished, country-store charm has united decades of Route 93 skiers ever since.

Over the last year, Lahout’s grandson Anthony teamed up with Teton Gravity Research to produce a short film about Joe Sr. “A lot of people's parents would remember seeing my grandfather Joe when they were little kids,” says Anthony, who spent a winter living in his car and skiing throughout the West, where he met a lot of people who had connections to Lahout’s. “It was his life and the memorable interaction they had with him that made that ski shop stand out."
