Arosa, Switzerland, March 1955; I am the girl with the scarf. There was not yet one Microfiber in sight!
Bivio, Switzerland 1959, with a friend. Bivio was a newly developed piste, it was a smaller version like Parsenn Davos - Klosters which I loved to ski.
Please visit Sepia Saturday to enjoy stories and pictures of yesteryear.
I like these pictures, they are like Holywood movies of long ago.
ReplyDeleteLove your smile! I am sure it was really fun but cold he he...
ReplyDeleteI never had the opportunity to ski. You all look like you are having a great time. Fun I am sure. Now water skiing, that was my thing.

Such happy photographs. I've never tried skiing.
ReplyDeleteDid you stay in touch with any of those pictured with you?
What wonderful pictures. These were the days before skiing became a mass tourist undertaking. Very adventurous of you.
ReplyDeleteAll that snow would make me want to stay indoors! looks like it provided you with a lot of fun, though...
ReplyDeleteI love these photos. Beautiful scenery!
ReplyDeleteSuch fashionable apparel! And such old-fashioned looking ski equipment. . . (and my verification word is "premerin" -- just one off from equine estrogen).
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun -- even without the fancy gear. Or perhaps because the gear wasn't so all important...
ReplyDeleteI am envious of this .. you all look so at home in the snow.
ReplyDeleteDid you grow up learning to ski - because where you're standing in the first photo looks very, very, very high! It looks like a long way down.
ReplyDeleteIn the first photo, are any of the young women sisters? You all look so wholesome and full of fun. Great photos!
It looks like a beautiful place to ski!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos and your beauty shines through with your enjoyment of the moment.
ReplyDeleteI find those old ski outfits so much more attractive and flattering than the new ones. I had lace boots at one point too, but I don't miss those! Skiing was so different then...no microfibers and no snowboards.
ReplyDeleteYou Look Like You Are About To Leap into LIFE MAGAZINE! [Swish!!!! ]Lovely Photos.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos,Titania! Do you also ski in Australia. I know that there are some mountains with ski areas. But I am always in Queensland when I stay with my daughter, and that's always warm. Thanks for your visit! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteDas sind schöne Erinnerungen liebe Titania, und die Frauen sehen chic aus in ihren Skikleidern.
ReplyDeleteIch gestehe, obwohl Schweizerin, bin ich sozusagen nie Ski gefahren. Ich habe mich mal in Langlaufski versucht, doch ich bin mehr auf dem Hosenboden herumgerutscht so bald es abwärts ging *lach*, so liess ich es bleiben.
Und heutzutage soll ja ein Riesenrun auf den Skipisten sein, wäre nichts für mich. Doch auch ein Spaziergang in den Winterbergen ist einmalig und erholend.
Sei herzlich gegrüsst

Thank you everybody for the visit and interesting comments.. I have grown up in a mountainous area and have learned to ski in an early age. I liked everything what had to do with winter sports, ice skating I enjoyed very much. I have not experienced cold and long winters for half of my life.
