Ye Olde Ski Gear Leather Boots and Unadorned Skis

Have you skied in leather boots? Do you remember when skis were solid colors and had no designs on them?

How many of you have skied in leather boots?   I always was envious of my sibling’s plastic boots!  Oh, sweet plastic.   In time, I got mine.  Today I only wonder what happened to those leather boots that got taken to the curb in a steel garbage can.  Sadness, I would love to mount them above the fireplace.

I still have the memories.  I remember having all black skis and then eventually ones that weren’t just black.  There was a little bit of blue on them!  They were fast!  

Eventually Santa brought me Blue/White Rossignol with a Plastic top.  That was amazing!!!
