VPSofW: The Mystery Skier

Okay, this is a suggestion from Paulie. It took a little bit of research, and there's not much of a videography. The best explanation comes from ATKOL's forums (great resource!), provided below:

"The masked guy in Aspen 2 had everyone wondering for years - especially as it was promoted at the time that he was a 'Hollywood actor.' The mystery was solved in the January 1989 edition of Manshots magazine, in which there was an interview with the director of the film, Bill Clayton. When asked about the MYSTERY SKIER, Bill replied:
“Okay, we had a boy skiing with us who's a personal friend of mine. He's had a pretty successful modeling and sometime-acting career in Hollywood. He has a beautiful body, he's a very attractive boy. Someone had been kidding him about being in the film, and he said, "What'll you give me to be in the movie?" And I said, "A Rolex watch." And that was his ticket – a mask and a watch".

In the years that followed, there was the occasional magazine reference (usually a reader asking who IS that guy?) but no further information was to be had. Then, in the September 1997 edition of Skinflicks magazine, a reader from Dayton, OH asked once again. Here's the answer from the editor, Eric Jay:
"We won't mention the guy's name here, but he passed away a few years ago from cancer. He was just a guy who wanted to do porn, but since he was a family man with kids, he elected to go incognito. That's it. Just someone who didn't want his family and friends to know what he was doing".

A few years ago, when the Falcon forum was up and running, someone asked the inevitable question and the above is, more or less, the exact wording of my reply. The following day, Falcon's John Rutherford made a post to confirm the story."

Videography:
The Other Side of Aspen II (1985, Falcon)
My Dick Is Bigger 1 (1986, Brick House Ent.) {Not a movie I recommend!}
A cameo in Giants from John Summers Productions
