I know it's not my turn, but I bring instead a different puzzle. I came across this card in Åre the other week, and the next day took some photos from (and I was guessing from memory, I didn't have the card with me) the same spot, to print up and frame side by side with the original by Thomasson. What I want to know is, which picture best matches the original. Grateful for any input. 
My pics, please vote A B or C.

There is a small outcrop of rocks on the right in all pics, though in some of mine they are now obscured by trees. The ravine bottom isn't much help because a couple of weeks before my visit, there had been a partial thaw, causing the stream to begin flowing briefly, hence the stream wells in the bottom.

Would be great to know some idea of the year of the original photo. I am guessing pre WW2 from other Thomasson photos and comparing the clothing, but if there is any equipment geeks who could age the skis and poles???

And there is about 20 to 30 m between where I took the photos from.

@thecramps, photo C looks to match best in my view. Really interesting to read the course down the west ravine and to the sluce!

@Themasterpiece, Isn't it. If your are there now and you can get there, one of the stream wells has the remains of a patrol guys skidoo screen in it. He failed to see it in flat light and rolled over while looking to help that woman who screwed her knee skiing into the Ostra ravine two weeks back

A for me also, but maybe 3 paces to the left  Actually, if you crop it so the mountain is in the same position and size relative to the original photo, I think it would be A

Looks Austrian, the avalanche barriers in the background look like those of the Schattberg in Saalbach - my guess is Fieberbrunn close to the top of Henne?

Think that's probably a snowfence in the foreground and along the ridge.
