A Guide to Vintage Skis from Olympic skier Graham Bell | Erna Low Ski Holidays

[@karenschiro4899]

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!

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.

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!

[@seriousbees]

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

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!

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.

if you go ski those at blue please let me know so i can watch haha

[@BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists]

Absolutely wonderful and romantic to see a peek into the pioneering age!

[@Absolutetelemark]

Excellent video. I'd love to try 1900. Wow

[@beeegeeedeee]

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 ?
