    Description

    In my younger, or should I say my pre-octogenarian days, I enjoyed alpine skiing at various
    major alpine resort venues.  On such trips I enjoyed collecting the ubiquitous souvenir ski-pins
    or cloth patches
    at the various resorts.  Consequently,
    I have collected quite a few such
    ski-resort souvenir pins & patches.  Accordingly, I have decided to make some of the souvenir
    ski-memorabilia available to skiers who may want to add
    such items to their  individual
    collections.  This eBay listing comprises a single lot comprising 1 cloth (Lake Placid) patch
    and 8 ski
    pins; i.e. 4 items from Lake Placid, New York and others from various ski areas as
    pictured above.
    In due course I will be offering such ski-resort pins from other venues; e.g., Vail, Breckenridge, Stowe  & Jay Peak, Vermont,
    Jackson Hole Wyoming and 1 from Innsbruck, Austria etc.  Please
    let me know if you are interested in such resort
    venues which may be included in my collection
    and I will check to see if I have any pins which
    may satisfy your interest.
    Alas, I must finally admit that my skiing days are long-since past; i.e., at age 80+ my fragile bones
    and physical condition preclude such vigorous alpine skiing endeavors.  I have enjoyed my skiing experiences over the years,
    but now I can only enjoy them vicariously via my photographs of such alpine scenery and, as the poet Wordsworth once penned; "...when they flash upon that inward eye...bliss of solitude."
