The photos, courtesy of family history site www.ancestry.co.uk, show how skiers wore simple leather boots strapped to aluminium or wooden skis. And instead of synthetic down-filled and insulated jackets, the in-vogue apparel was fashioned out of heavy wool - and the trousers were high-waisted. The image is undated and the location unknown (right)A photograph showing a family during a ski outing, with all of them dressed for the cold in high-waisted woollen ski pants. The date and location is unknownA family pictured at an unknown location in March 1937.
