Mont Tremblant, Quebec, 1953

Ah, the red parka with the little white stars! The long, cold winters, with sunny days too!

It was a short walk from the back door to the ski slopes. I didn't bother joining the line-up for the tow - I'd go up to the front and ask some sturdy fellow, "Mister, will you take me up?"

Those were the days when kids were told "Go out to play", and did.
