I recently posted a video clip showing some skiing scenes from the 1950s which got quite a few comments. Here's another clip from 1958, this time from a film featuring Olympic champion skier Toni Sailer. Incidentally Sailer's Olympic racing career ended somewhat prematurely as the fact that he had been paid for appearing in several skiing films and had received sponsorship money from ski manufacturers caused him to fall foul of the then existing 'Amateur' regulations.
They look just like those we were using in Niseko a few weeks ago. They are remarkably comfortable.
BTW how did you know they wore wooly knickers? Was there some more intimate part of the film I missed.
Then you can post your own questions or snow reports...

I presume @Pasigal wasn't using the word "knickers" in the British meaning of an item of underwear but rather the American meaning of knickerbockers i.e britches.

Yes, was thinking of plus-fours? Is that what you call them? Although I'd also wear a pair woolly women's knickers to get a bluebird day in the Dolomites with no crowds and tea dancing!
