Description
“Hand-sewn” ski boots anyone? They sound like a must-have item for hitting the slopes as ski champion Gertie Beaton calls them a "masterpiece".
Using the pseudonym of Gertil Peaton, Gertie wrote a newspaper column on all things 'ski'. Here, in this column from circa 1958, she gives advice on ski boots and bindings.
The article also talks of: Parallel Ski Exercises and a Leg and Balance Exercise; announcements of ski movies by Warren Miller, Martin Stroltz and Othmar Schneider; and an update on teenager Roddy Hebron’s racing.
