The films of Otto Lang: Entrepreneur, ski instructor to the stars, Academy Award-nominated documentarian: Otto Lang ranks among the greats of ski-film production. Opening Americas first ski school in the mid-1930s, Lang was invited to head the Sun Valley (Idaho) Ski School, offering instruction to the likes of Gary Cooper, Groucho Marx, and Twentieth Century-Fox studio head, Darryl Zanuck. At Zanucks invitation, Lang embarked on an illustrious Hollywood career as producer/director. Otto Lang resides in Seattle.
