RachelQ, what a great idea, I wish I'd done that. Unfortunately, I'm the opposite of a hoarder, don't know what the word is for that. I don't even have many photos and, for a 17-year period of my life, virtually none at all. Silly me.
Nice thread title btw.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Hurtle, thanks!  They're the only thing I hoard (although I might have a pair of long straight skis in the loft still!).

RachelQ, they would look great in a frame in a kitchen/study but then you might want to look at both sides so that's no good

Nice collection I was just looking at mine and need to put last seasons passes in and get them out of the ski pack. It is a tad scary looking at the aging over 20 odd years though.

Nice photo (and title  )
I know some people who've done as Lou suggests and put their old ski passes in a frame (currently hanging in the loo of their ski appartment!) - it's great looking back at the locations and hair styles in particular. It's a shame the new electronic cards (mostly) don't have photos on anymore...

I started collecting ski passes, then quickly realised that piste maps would be of more interest. Unfortunately that means I have no maps from my first 3 seasons skiing

I buy cheap place mats with piste maps on as makes for good discussion after meals discussing the various runs. Normally only get them out the weeks before a trip to get the kids excited.

My bathroom is wall-papered with about half of Joyce's Finnegan's Wake but I'm about to re-do it with ordnance survey maps of the Scottish west coast (including Nevis and Glencoe ski areas). Mrs snowball likes to hike with me around the area so it is OK with her too.

Looks great but I really can't be bothered saving stuff like that. I have, on more than one occaision my previous years pass has been in a pocket and confused the card reader at the 1st lift

Frosty the Snowman, tell me about it. I recovered several lift passes from both JUlesB's and the kids ski jackets at New Year.

I notice mant resorts, especially in Switzerland, use reusable ski passes which are just plastic credit cards, with a memory strip, that can be top up from time to time. Some resorts even refuse to take them back.
I find keeping ski maps more rewarding as they can picture better what I did in each resort.

Winterhighland, I think I did a few days on them in 1969 after several years not skiing. Then didn't ski again till 1983.

RachelQ, Interesting thread - I noted the storage ideas put forward - I don't know if you are looking for suggestions, but how about a cheap cellophane photo album - then you could view both sides - it even used to be possible to get a folding sheet which might open out to hold them all in the little pockets they have.

RachelQ: Lovely photo from the Kohlmaisgipfel (somewhere near the Turneralm?), but do you always take your cuddly toy skiing?

I keep all my lift passes (and try to keep a piste map too), but because most of my skiing has been in Switzerland where they adopted the electronic passes very early on, most of them don't have photos. Not sure if this is good or bad!!

RachelQ, I was about 10 when my parents bought me those skis. Fond memories. Is JohnQ about my age?

That's the one - one of the nicest pics of the Glemm valley I've seen - after a recent snowfall too.

I took that during the Christmas week in 95. We had lovely snow and sunshine all week. Lovely place, I'd like to go back soon.

Let me know if I can be of any help. I'll be there for Christmas & New Year - can't imagine Christmas anywhere else nowadays, in fact, if Carlsberg did Christmas, this is where etc etc....
