Why do you ski?

Lately I’ve been dabbling in online second-hand shops and I’ve found some truly curious and interesting things.

For lovers of music, vinyl records, and of course skiing, here’s one of my latest finds: a 45 rpm single dedicated to skiing, featuring French skier Madeleine Bochatay on the cover.

Bochatay achieved sixth place in the downhill at the 1964 Innsbruck Winter Olympic Games.

I don’t know if the qualification is official, if it’s accredited, what you have to do to reach that level, and who administers the exam…

This isn’t over, folks, it’s just changing locations. The ski season in the southern hemisphere will begin in less than a month.

I wish a happy and successful ski season, with plenty of snow, to our fellow skiers in the Southern Hemisphere.

Pictured is an old pin from the Chilean Ski Federation ❤️.

One of the few good things—or perhaps the only one—about the end of the ski season is that you can find gear at great prices, even if it’s not from the latest season.

Let me show you my new ski boots.

The 2025-2026 ski season is officially over in the Northern Hemisphere. I hope and wish for a great ski season in the Southern Hemisphere.

But while we enjoy spring and the coming summer, we don’t forget our passion.

On May 28th, these 6 original photos of F1 driver Jochen Rindt, taken during a skiing trip in the 1969-1970 season, will be auctioned at OstLich in Vienna, Austria.

The ill-fated Austro-German driver Jochen Rindt died as a result of an accident caused by a mechanical failure in his car during practice for the Italian F1 Grand Prix at the Monza circuit in September 1970.

It is a unique circumstance that Rindt, a keen skier, won the 1970 F1 World Championship posthumously.

Retrofuture.

Now that we are living, as never before, the wonderful and incredible epic of the Artemis II spacecraft, it has reminded me of this modern and happy skier in Sun Valley, Idaho, in 1974.

Holy Week. Easter.

Holy Thursday.

1940s. A religious procession, preceded by skiers, walks through the snow carrying the image of a Virgin, Our Lady of Nuria, in the Nuria valley, Catalan Pyrenees (Spain).

Our Lady of Nuria is the patron saint of the diocese of Urgell, of skiers and, traditionally, of fertility.

The brilliant and multifaceted Suzy Chaffee photographed in Vail, Colorado, by the equally brilliant Toni Frissell on November 1, 1969.

I love her incredibly long eyelashes… Which current downhill racer does she remind you of because of her long eyelashes??? taken in Vail Ski Resort by @alpineclassics

Unreal. It looks like a drawing. But it’s the unmistakable and admired Émile Allais skiing in Méribel around 1950.

Usually, a wool sweater is enough for spring skiing, although sometimes less is more.
