You want to stand out against the snow when skiing


Long before brightly-hued ski outfits became popular, Barbie and friends were already wearing them.  Here are five that I own, left to right:

Redhead Living Barbie in 1797 The Ski Scene, both from 1970.

Gold Medal Skier Barbie from 1975 in her original outfit plus her skis.

Sears Action Accents Barbie from 1970 in her original outfit.  (I don't understand why this doll was sold with auburn hair and fuchsia clothing, because they clash!)
 
Gold Medal Skier Ken from 1975 in his original outfit, including his skis.

Walt Disney's Snow White in unnumbered Skiing, both from 1993.
