Description
"The answer to a parent’s question 'What to get small fry for Christmas?' could be the streamline ski slacks, jackets, or all-in-one ski suits, available in various colors that we were admiring in a local ski shop.”
This observation from Gertie Beaton in 1958 does not seem to be that far removed from some thoughts that ski families might have today. She goes on to talk about tips for keeping kids warm and dry on the slopes.
This column gives us a glimpse into ski wear for little ones during that time, and the differences and similarities compared to today.
