Great Flick! Reminds me of the 1st rentals I tried, 1965 wooden skis with screwed on metal edges and a low cut leather boot. About that time Head Standards came along and everything changed for the good!

I just bought a pair of old skis at the Toronto Ski Show. They were all wood, no metal edges and a simple slot where the toe binding would go. I got a lot of attention, mostly nervous smiles and questions about which walk I intended to decorate I fully intend to actually use them, accepting all liability. I feel a bit like a pioneer.

Love the demo of the old skis. They sounded like a nightmare but Graham made them look quite functional and fun!

Damned good skiing by Graham Bell there - he is making it look very much easier than the reality. Good for him, what days they must have been in the 1930's.

Lovely video, nice idea, a much overlooked part of skiing - The binding and ski could be 1910 but thought metal edges were from Lettner in 1928 ?

Thank you for your lovely video. You helped us identify the age of the 3 pairs of old wooden skis and boots my family has that belonged to our grandparents. They are older than we thought! They are the oldest skis, with no knuckle edges, and break leg bindings. We love them, but alas will not attempt to ski with them. Graham Bell is quite brave to have done so!

That’s not some cheap Kodak Brownie, it’s a top Rolleiflex twin lens reflex, which would have cost you an arm & a leg back in the day.

I have a pair of those 1960s skis. They rip the pistes even to this day. I absolutely love them

My first time skiing was a package from London to Kitzbuhel in 1969. I learnt with those 1960 style skis and boots. Scary looking back but a great beginning. And great apres ski.

I worked (and skied) in Kitzbühel for three years in the early 2000's. Good times!

As an actual hamster, I think I'd rather stay home and have someone (a friend or relative) take care of me whilst you enjoy your holiday. I don't like aeroplanes or long journeys and a change in environment is stressful rather than relaxing. Have fun on your holiday and please leave us hamsters home with plenty of food and water, and someone to check on us every day. Besides, have you ever seen a hamster with a set of skis?!
