I was going through old albums today. I have a bunch that aren't digitized yet from my father and his father skiing in Europe but here are some that were:

Me and my dad

not skiing but my 14th birthday mountain bike cake, hell yeah

Maybe my first ever ski jump? Ca: 1985

My dad ... probably in the early 70's

Me and Ski Stef in our awesome outfits, that snowboard was terrible, it was designed for like a backyard, never had any grip or edges, I think I only ever sat on it and slid down the hill like a sled

Me around age 10, not sure where this is, yep carrying a backpack and one of those ridiculous hats from the early 90's with the huge tassles, and my awesome neon purple and pink K2 skis

Me again, probably around age 4?

Fun stuff, going back through time like this

Looks like Lange flo's with the blue jeans for your dad.

(that was me too, including the shades)

Never did the suede jacket thing tho, as I recall I was a big hoodie ss and ballcap kinda guy.

Great thread!

I believe in the Eaton Mt. one I'm wearing all-wood skis with beartrap bindings and leather boots - gear that was already 20 years old.

Me around age 10, not sure where this is, yep carrying a backpack and one of those ridiculous hats from the early 90's with the huge tassles, and my awesome neon purple and pink K2 skis

Those large tassels were out in the late 70's, and I have several hats and photos to prove it.

Unfortunately, my Dad didn't take early photos of us skiing, otherwise I'd have even older stuff. Here's one from 1979, on my way to a formal party at tree-line, complete with Scott boots and bell bottoms:

...and yes, you can ski powder on 67mm skinny skis.

I've got some from as far back as 1966 my first day on ski's at Hidden Valley at Estes Park Co. Don't know how (maybe someone does) I could put them on to digital medium to show them here. Also some good photos of Smugglers Notch (Madonna Mt Ski Area in those days) circa 1969-1971.

This is Ajax(Aspen Mt) in 1969. I used a Kodak Instamatic. We were ski bumming around CO during college break, sleeping wherever we could(hotel basements, car, couches, etc.) The week in Aspen it snowed every night and every day was a bright bluebird masterpiece.
