Capturing the Unlikely Heroes - Atlantic College Ski Patrol Brings Alpine Adventure to South Wales
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this remarkable print from February 23rd, 1978, we witness an extraordinary sight that left both farmers and emergency services in awe. Led by the intrepid Norwegian staff member Ivar Lund-Mathieson, the Atlantic College ski patrol embarked on a mission to assist police and emergency personnel in patrolling the snow-covered Vale of Glamorgan. Their dedication and assistance during severe blizzard conditions were nothing short of heroic. As they ventured through isolated cottages and farms, Lund-Mathieson and his colleague David Hofman brought with them an unexpected touch of Alpine charm amidst the Welsh landscape. The surprised farmers couldn't believe their eyes as they witnessed these brave men gracefully gliding on skis across their fields. This snapshot captures not only a moment frozen in time but also highlights the spirit of adventure and camaraderie that prevailed during those harsh winter months. It serves as a testament to human resilience when faced with extreme weather conditions. The Atlantic College ski patrol's invaluable help was greatly appreciated by all who benefited from their presence. This image is a reminder that even in times of adversity, individuals can come together to provide aid and support, transcending geographical boundaries. Preserved within Memory Lane Prints' collection courtesy of Western Mail Archive, this photograph invites us to reflect upon the power of unity while celebrating outdoor leisure activities that defy convention – reminding us that heroes can emerge from unexpected places.
