2008 in Borovets. I'm the one in pink with the awful snowplough stance. I've just looked back through the photos of that week and it looks really odd now that no-one is wearing a helmet. It was about 15deg, hence my coat being wide open.

Some slope in la Plagne, definitely out of control
Riding one of those eBay specials board combos where you got cheap everything for about £129.... 165w board was like an oil tanker to turn.
What a great trip, the start of it all

Of cause fashions change. Few people wear one piece suits these days, or ear muffs, or moon boots, or shoulder pas. Back protectors are the latest fashion accessories

Even more astonishing: most of them lived to tell the tale!

Not sure I would have dared to take a camera on piste as a teenage beginner in 1985. Too expensive and fragile and bulky. And with non-digital photography, no chance of getting a copy of one from a mate.

According to my Dad, I went ski-ing as bun-in-the-oven in the early '60s.
Sorry, no photo available

This!
This business of taking picture of anything and everything is only post-digital. Pre-digital, a picture actually required thoughts. First, whether, followed by what, how etc.

I have a photo somewhere - but 1978 in Bulgaria - first English school to go to Bulgaria for a ski trip - we were met by armed guards off the plane!
