Sking In Style

The hotel we stayed at in Revelstoke had some historic photos hanging in the lobby.
I thought some of you might enjoy them.
Here is the first one dating back to 1899.

[Shy Abel]

My how times have changed in photography

[ShirleyB]

Brilliant capture. I love looking at old photos. it must have been very hard for the ladies skiing in the long dresses. How fashions have changed.

[Granagringa]

Good composition is good composition. Certainly tells a story.

[Lisa Poland]

Oh, very cool!

[Anita Campbell]

Interesting old photos.

[Elizabeth]

Great skiing costumes! Don't think I could ski in a dress!

[Harbie]

I love old photos!! 'what a fun shot!

[Babs]

Such an interesting photo. I can't imagine any of the women skiing in those dresses. Must have been a mans sport back then.

[Dave59]

That's great. I really think the photographer's sense of fun still works over a century later. That's not a stick-in-the-mud portrait:)

[Suse♡]

Very interesting, how things have changed!

[Jenfurj]

It is wonderful to see how they all posed thoughtfully for the photo. All knowing that there was only going tone one opportunity- no digital then:)

[Nick]

Great - I love old photos. I wouldn't fancy trying to ski on those old wooden skis though.

[Valerie Chesney]

Oh, wonderful, I cant imagine ski-ing in those clothes..or on those skis...

[Sheralee S]

Oh my goodness! I wonder how many people were impaled by those skis. Fantastic old photo.
