Adrian Midgley The oldest (or second oldest) ski club in the world was started in Kiandra, Australia. It still exists as the Kiandra Pioneers Ski Club but its original name was the Kiandra Snowshoe Club. Skis were called snowshoes in Australia in those days.

My, how skiing equipment has changed! these girls are in ordinary winter clothing and must have been pretty hardy!

iansand says:

The Big Sister I have been skiing for about 35 years. I remember when I first started I had reasonable gear, but on dodgy days we used to ski until we got wet. That was tough enough, but these people....

Mind you, the early Everest climbers did it in tweed sports coats.

For your great picture, I only found words in my mother tongue: "Cheibe gueti Sach – fascht scho UMWÄRFEND! -, so öppis findetmer nöd alli Taag!" In case you would like to know what I said, I propose you are attending - at least fifty - lessons in Swiss German :-))

I was wondering whether one of them is Maggie Wilson (Nee: Yan) who was the champion of the ladies races in 1894 and 1895.
