Etsy Finds Vintage: Après-ski


Story by TeenAngster Published on December 13, 2008 in Spotlight	Photo by Retrofuture on Flickr

After an exhausting day of hitting the slopes — the quiet swishing through fresh fallen snow and relaxing rides up the ski lift — it's time for a well deserved winter's rest. How about a little après-ski, 1970's style? Let's adjourn to the ski lodge, fire up the hot tub and start the fondue prep! I'll pour the hot toddies if you hold the mugs! Here's to winter and ski culture, vintage style.

Yay! Skiing. I am going to Austria in January. I fancy a nice glass of gluhwein and a hot cheese fondue after a day on the slopes.

That Nordic sweater is very pretty- around the late 70s people began wearing lots of designs like that and this Strawberry Ice Cream one:

Nice picks. I love fondue. Especially the stinky cheese kind. We're about to get hit by a blizzard here in MN so these items would be perfect for today!

~thevintageholicfrog~ YOU are awesome! {And you're right, everyone else is, too}.
About fondue: It's the BEST way to eat decadently without the guilt (think veggies dipped in cheese, fruit dipped in rich chocolate). MMmmm!

This is such a cute theme! I love those old 60's/70's skiing images, they are so cozy and kitschy.

Yay fondue! I don't ski, but I dig the 70's apres-ski lifestyle. Does that make me a poser? Buppins's store has some great finds.
