It's back in the States, but not the pink that often went with it fortunately.

On the Piste is the best documentary ever that the BBC made - a fly on the wall piece about 1 group in Soll, Austria and the others of the DHO (v posh Downhill Only Club) in Wengen - search for it in Youtube - absolutely priceless. I had a tape of it which has disintegrated as it has been loaned out so much! Why the BBC don't repeat it every ski season I will never know - the clothes and hair may have changed but the beginners have not!! Never seen my dad laugh so much in his life, bless him!!
Rather a bad day on the slopes than a good day in the office!

My first pair of salos were from c &a when I was at school.... It was my first trip to Austria with the school and I remember being in a mood because I wanted a pair of nevica but my parents would buy them with it being my first time.... Ahhh the memories. :lol:
Oh and I will also add they were Bright lime green..... Ah the 80's you gotta love them. :D

Back in the 80s when I was a casual and we were all wearing sports gear to football, ski jackets came into fashion.
People were wearing all sorts of expensive stuff, never having skied in their lives, myself included. I had a really smart Luhta one.
One night, at home to Sheffield United, my mate rolls up in this hideous white thing with a blue and red chevron down the front.
"Dead expensive this" he announced. "Its some Italian designer brand called Rodeo"
I think he got a pint thrown over it that night.

Just watched On the Piste - brilliant! Was in Soll last week - so glad that 2 man chair lift has gone! Nothing much changed in the Postwirt though - was that Jimmy I saw handing out the drinks?!
