This is Steve and Lisa's 1946 Piper Cub on Skis breaking the surlies in the deep snow of the coast of Maine.
Descent from Vallettes jut to the valley. What had looked like a beautiful 800m descent started with crust, then moved on to slab (which cracked loudly and dropped as Simon skiied on to it) and finished with a very narrow path through trees.

Back then, we used to ski on long, thin skis 200 to 210 cm, depending on whether the ski was a slalom (short radius turns) or a giant slalom (long radius turns) ski. The technique was much harder to master than it is today. Like all sports, skiing went through improvements that made it possible for a lot of so-so skiers to look good. Nothing beats technique and mileage.
