The Best '70s Ski Outfits From the POWDER Archives
As you might remember (or as your parents might remind you), things were a bit different in the 1970s. Global politics were in upheaval, society was opening its mind to new norms, and ski bumming was entering its first golden age. Those were also the years when this publication, first helmed by founders Jake and Dave Moe, began chronicling the deeper side of ski culture. At the time, ski culture had started to evolve into the free-spirited and expression-driven form it still has today, in part driven by the pages of the first volumes of POWDER Magazine. Powder skiing represented the ultimate freedom, and in true 1970s fashion, the skiers of the time took their expression of it to extreme lengths. Speaking of fashion, this was the era of true drip: from tight-fitting one-piece ski suits to oversized knit sweaters, most everything featured loud colors, patterns, and revealing necklines. Check out the Best 70s Ski Outfits from the POWDER archives below. This piece is part of POWDER's Summer of Ski Nostalgia content series. Stay tuned in daily for more nostalgic articles, and keep an eye out for the upcoming Summer of Ski Nostalgia badge to identify future content.

These were the days before Gore-Tex and other waterproof/breathable fabrics, with skiers instead opting for wool sweaters and the odd stretchy ski suit. These things were warm, bordering on sweaty, but they undoubtedly oozed style. A 1977 gear editorial section highlighting the year's finest insulated wares for skiers. Many iconic ski brands really found their stride in the 1970s. Look at how far things have come in these ads from Bogner, Rossignol, and Gerry Clothing. Apparel ads from the 70s were just built different. The wool sweater, still an icon of ski fashion today, provided the vibes during the 70s. Personally, these are WAY too hot for me to wear anywhere but inside a cozy mountain hut, but to each their own, I suppose. Eyewear was also on point, with many skiers still opting for large-framed sunglasses instead of full-on goggles. Fashion over function, especially on sunny days. For anyone who has worn goggles of this era, you'll remember that fogging was a pretty real issue. Marketing copy has always been a hot topic of discussion for brands. How can you make things eye-catching without being too weird? That clearly didn't matter to apparel manufacturers back then. Marlboro jackets? Budweiser sweaters? Nothing was sacred back then. While backcountry skiing really entered its golden age during the COVID pandemic, skiers have been walking up mountains and enjoying soft turns on the way down for many years. Take a look at the style and equipment (or lack thereof) employed during the 1970s from places like Vail to Courchevel. Long before technical outerwear, skiers were enjoying hard-earned turns deep in the backcountry. This piece is part of POWDER's Summer of Ski Nostalgia content series.

Gen Z Woman With 'Unusual' Facial Scar on Cruelest Things People Say to Her
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Living with a rare condition that causes visible symptoms can be mentally and physically challenging. Not only that, but people are sometimes subjected to cruel comments about something beyond their control. Take Kate Bogner, 27, for example. She has a rare autoimmune disease called Linear Scleroderma, which affects about one in every 300,000 Americans, according to the National Scleroderma Foundation. At age five, she developed the condition, which causes superficial or deep lesions in a band-like pattern on the trunk, limbs, or face—sometimes appearing as a distinct line on the head known as "en coup de sabre," a French term meaning "strike of the sword." While she went into "spontaneous remission" at 13, the mom-of-one from Calgary, Alberta, was bullied throughout school and has only begun to embrace her scar in recent years. In an interview with Newsweek, she shared the reason why she will never stop talking about it on Instagram (@naturallyintoxikated). Two screenshots from the viral video showing Bogner speaking to the camera. Two screenshots from the viral video showing Bogner speaking to the camera. Instagram/@naturallyintoxikated Bogner recently racked up 1.8 million views on just one clip where she shared cruel comments she's received from others about her scar, including "butthead," and hairstyle suggestions intended to cover it. "I've heard it all," she said, adding that she advocated for herself from a young age and encourages others to do the same. She told Newsweek: "Being a teenager with a very unusual scar on my face, in high school wasn't easy—let alone in elementary school. Kids can be nasty!" "However, little did I know that all of this was building my confidence, allowing me to embrace and accept my scar more and more," she said. After living with the scar since she was five, she learned to embrace it in her early twenties. "I wasn't going to be ashamed or hide from it. I was going to accept it and choose to inspire other people to be authentically themselves," she shared. "I was inspired to make this video to show others that although I get bombarded with nasty comments daily, I don't let them affect me. I don't need bangs to be beautiful. I don't have to hide my scar. I am proud of my story and the battle I have overcome!" "I love my scar, and I am inspiring and teaching others to love theirs. We are all unique, and we must embrace this to be confident!" she added. Indeed, her message has resonated loudly online—with hundreds of users commenting in support. "It's interesting how you don't learn or understand until you are older that people who make fun of others are just insecure with themselves," said one user. Another wrote: "Scars make us unique and tell a story of our strength. You are beautiful." "So proud of your confidence. I have linear morphea scleroderma of the forehead. I cover my forehead. I'm not confident yet," said a third user. If you have a personal dilemma, let us know via life@ We can ask experts for advice on relationships, family, friends, money and work and your story could be featured on Newsweek's "What Should I Do? section.

Bill would prevent foreign banks from buying Montana homes
Photo illustration by Getty Images. A bill to prevent foreign governments, banks and companies from buying up residential Montana land for sale at public auctions passed the state Senate on second reading, 47-to-2. Senate Bill 306, sponsored by Sen. Ken Bogner, R-Miles City, would require an entity to prove they're based in the United States before a county treasurer is allowed to sell a residential tax lien. 'Montana lands and homes should belong to Montanans and Americans, not foreign entities,' Bogner said. 'Our tax deed process has left the door open for foreign entities to buy up property at the expense of Montanans.' The bill would disallow foreign companies from buying Montana housing off auction. The changes would not apply to foreign individuals, Bogner said. About 85,000 homes were sold nationally to non-Americans between April 2022 to March 2023, a drop of nearly 15% from the previous year, according to the National Association of Realtors. Bogner brought a similar bill preventing 'adversarial' foreign governments and corporations from buying agricultural land during the 2023 Legislature. The law came in the wake of a Chinese balloon that floated across the country, capturing the nation's attention. It was passed and signed into law, directly targeting the governments of China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela as well as corporations in those countries. SB 306 expands on the 2023 bill and applies the ban to all foreign entities. 'Our property values are going up and up and it's harder and harder to purchase a home, pay property taxes,' Bogner told the Daily Montanan. 'We don't need foreign banks buying up property and making the problem worse.' In 2021, about 916,000 acres of land in the state was owned by non-American entities, an increase of about 100,000 acres from the previous year.
