Harry;

I had my sweater up until 1995 and it somehow got lost when we moved? And it still fit... so I was really unhappy about missing it. I am trying to up to the reunion theis year, (no more excuses) make a four day quicky vacation, but work with this new job might make it difficult...?? And then there is my Army Reserve thing?

Hook or crook, Erika and I are planning to attend.

Sorry I forgot to note the ones pictured in this link are the first shipment- from the first manufacture, which as the lot was delivered you can see is way too red. The maroon is better and quality is the same for about $120 less.

100% PURE WOOL

Line by line, this is what appears on the Ski Patrol Sweater. 

 To the left side of the label (as you are facing the label sewn onto the back of the sweater) is a symbol which looks like a triumphant skier jumping with joy  (arms and legs spread apart) with the upper body  in front of a black flag.  The arms are overhead and stretched widely side to side and there is a ski pole hanging from one hand.  The torso and arms are a yellow thread,  the head (no features) is a white thread, and the legs are a black thread.

Bill, if I had realized you were looking, I had THE SWEATER on at Banff and could have shown you the label.  (You did see that I had the sweater on, didn't you?)

We had our Olympic Luge Team Sweaters made by this Company in Erwald, Austria but I can't remember the name of the owner. Try Tom Neely in Sun Valley , he might be able to help you. His email address is:

As I recall, Tom & Bud Feltman, both team members arranged for our sweaters. I did visit the place one time but don't recall the name. I think it was a father & son operation and they had great quality sweaters. Tom has been a Ski Instructor for many years in Sun Valley and in the summer runs the Sun Valley Gun Club. Bud is in Park City, Utah in Real Estate.
