We need your stories

 

In the project, the population of the participating regions is to be invited to participate on a broad basis. We would like to hear and document your stories about winter sports. The memories of contemporary witnesses are just as interesting as photographs, written documents and museum objects (such as winter sports equipment and clothing). We look forward to your suggestions and contact.
