Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

If you look closely he has very cleverly stuck one into the snow and continued skiing still holding 2 poles, surely a drill you can work with there Rob Wink

Ah, I didn't see he had a pole in each hand; it looked like he had left one behind him.

Back in 1968 I was thinking about fishing as my future recreational hobby.


Made the right choice though two years later !

So far I have not found my first ski photo (from when I was, I think, 4).

However, here I am in about 1957, skiing with my dad at Wengen. I think this is substantially the oldest photo on this thread so far but surely some other old fart has something earlier?



And here are the state-of-the-art wooden skis (with screw-on edges and painted bases) my dad bought me in 1958 and my boots from a similar date with inner and outer laces, which I got out of storage for this photo.

And while I am scanning old photos, here is my mother on her first ski holiday in 1946 (still wearing her army trousers). Could it be Davos? I haven't been there as an adult so I don't know.



As she is now 95 she doesn't have a recent ski photo.

livetoski, You've got Parablacks (sp?) big lumps of plastic that were supposed to stop your skis crossing.

snowball, epic photos. The world was much more stylish when everyone was black and white. I'm also truly impressed that you've still got that old gear.

I think my dad's jacket WAS black. Perhaps we were grey but I remember my jacket was blue (with ski-school and resort badges my mum had sewn on the arms for me).

Last spring in Chamonix, I saw a group of chaps skiing in tweed jackets, flat caps and deer stalkers. They were good skiers and the outfits definitely turned heads Cool

Just learned how to upload photo's - with only partial success. Why is it so small?

First week on snow, paid for with final year student grant. Lermoos, Austria. 1988. Landed in an explosion of grey and broke my thumb.

skimottaret, great bump!

Rereading the thread, I'm wondering:
* Does kooky still have a mullet?
* How did roga and scotia turn out as adults (they started out as cute kids)?
* Why was AndAnotherThing.. skiing with a flower vase on his head?
* How come more recent pics of horizon getting air show the same tips up style?
* How come livetoski has not aged, does he have a creepy painting in his attic?
* For the love of god, can someone please tell me where I can find this Danish porn that was mentioned?
