Skiing in yesteryear looks a lot of fun, and safety didn’t come into it. Skiing down the Champs Elysees behind a motorbike…100mph skicross in the 1950s…Chinese downhill 1923-style in Garmisch: those were the days, my friend.

We published this feature last year, but we’ve added a few more videos this time around.
