Scottish Skiing – The Golden Years 1950 – 1990 By Ed Rattray
Ed Rattray began climbing in the Cairngorms in the 1940s and first donned skis in 1950, long before modern equipment was available and when mountain clothing and skis were all ex-War Department kit.
He graduated into the Etchachan and Cairngorm Mountaineering Clubs and became a founder member of the Aberdeen Ski Club in 1956.
