Marketa and the Crazy Canucks

It being the end of the winter Olympics held in Canada where Julia Murray participated I though it would be appropriate to dig out this old photo and fondly remember the first skiing trip we took in Austria. I think it was in 1974. In Zell am See. There were some world skiing championships going on. And in our hotel a young skiing team from Canada was staying. I and another youngster became friends during the few weeks we all were there. We and the boys were somewhat crazy – playing tricks on each other and such. Afterwards I followed the team’s ups and downs with interest and I am so glad to see that Dave Murray’s daughter is following her father’s ski-steps.

Here is the photo. It was the first time I skied again after becoming disabled.
