Some of the best freeriders and mogul skiers in the world right now are from Åre.

It’s always been about skiing, and it’s always been about style here. Not much is known about this photograph, but the man in front is obviously of some prominence, or at least he thinks so himself. They are most certainly tourists. The building in the background is the old Grand Hotel (today Sporthotellet), built in 1911. The photo is probably taken a few years after that (not that many I guess since there are still piles of timber in the background).</p>http://vintageski.tumblr.com/post/48704507122http://vintageski.tumblr.com/post/48704507122Tue, 23 Apr 2013 13:51:43 -0400Nils ThomassonÅreskiskierskiingsnowwintervintagestylefashiondandyleopard printfurfur coatfur hatretroearly 20th centuryearly 1900svacationholidaytravelhotelSwedenSwedesSwedishScandinaviaclothesclothingportraitphotography<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/07ea0b0a70fd5c4f6fa117b93df1d4c7/tumblr_mlk36j2eE41rrcqu4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Ski jump.
