Vintage Skiing Photos (Boston Globe)

[Nick]

I just found this today. I'm not sure how recent or old this is; or even if had been posted here before. Pretty cool gallery though.

Pretty far out. Whenever I see old pics like this, I always wonder why there were so many more women back in the day that skiied. Was this because guys were in the military/wars? I'm admittedly shit-stupid when it comes to any type of history...

There have never been nor will there ever be more women skiing/boarding than men. There are more pictures of women because there are more male photographers. One more thing to remember is a lot of the old photos were staged for marketing purposes.

Cool photos . . . however, I'm not thrilled that "Vintage" refers to some of the photos that were taken way after I started skiing. Ouch.

"so many more women back in the day"

That's not what I was saying. I was comparing then to now.

Not exactly sure what you mean. This is what I said:

"There have never been nor will there ever be more women skiing/boarding than men."

There were not a lot of women skiing back in the day. I would think there are more women skiing/boarding today than in the past.
