One
of the best racers was a British
woman named Audrey Sale - Barker, and a description
of her from a contemporary account (1929) is fascinating — if only to see how this rather pale and ethereal young thing contrasts with the sturdy, hard - schussing
women downhillers
of today: «Audrey Sale - Barker was very
tall, extremely slim... with pale honey -
colored hair, a vague, dreamy expression, and when she skied I can only describe her as a sleepwalker.
Tall, gentle, very romantic and sensual, family person, beginner harmonica player, I love
women of all ages and
color.
