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 :-)

Ski Nostalgia - Austria

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi. Just out of interest and curiosity I’m interested to see if anyone has any old photo’s/ski maps/info of some Austrian resorts just to see how they’ve changed and developed over the years. Particularly interested in photo’s/ski maps of St Anton, Lech-Zurs, Kaprun, Tauplitzalm, Hintertux as these resorts I know well, but anything interesting for any resort would be cool.

Oh and some cheesy 70’s and 80’s photos would definitely be a good laugh! The cheesier the better!

skilehrer89, Presumably you're familiar with the classic 1931 ski movie "Der Weisse Rausch" with Hannes Schneider filmed around Stuben and St Anton?

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

Yes I am, I’m looking more for pictures of the village, lifts etc and for some slightly more modern photos e.g. 50’s-90’s. More interested in this particular case as to how the above resorts have developed as opposed to how skiing has developed.

Which incidentally features the Mooserwirt (which certainly has changed)

skilehrer89, three books you might want to pick up:

http://www.amazon.de/Arlberg-Dt-Engl-Thomas-Ebster/dp/3853331882?tag=amz07b-21

Big coffee table book, but lots of great photos.

http://www.amazon.de/Sankt-Anton-Arlberg-Friedrich-Schmidt/dp/3702222405?tag=amz07b-21

Similar to the above (but smaller).

http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-runs-Austria-James-Riddell/dp/B0000CK3SR/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348217778&sr=8-1&tag=amz07b-21

James Riddel's great 1958 guide "The ski runs of Austria". Mostly written descriptions and maps, but terrific stuff.

Film Archiv Austria is also a good source.

skilehrer89, A visit to the Museum in St Anton is always a great idea when the weather is really stormy and the lifts are in lock down, kills an hour before the bars open - plenty of nostalgia stuff in there, also Tourist Office has some good stuff too

skilehrer89, On the subject of Austrian ski nostalgia, are you familiar with the works of the Austrian artist Alfons Walde? Quote: "Alfons Walde (8 February 1891 - 11 December 1958), an Austrian from Kitzbühel in Tyrol, was the first artist to successfully bring skiing as a subject into painting."

Several of his paintings can be seen in the Kitzbuhel Museum, and one of the (short) pistes at Kitzbuhel is named the "Walde" in his honour.
