Nikki Roemmer, 35, shows off her vintage ski suit at Mountain’s Edge in Bend on Friday as part of the Vintage Ski Night put on by The Environmental Center. Roemmer said she got her Edelweiss bibs at a Prineville thrift shop, and that her Italian top and boots were from the Goodwill store in Bend.

Courtney Walton, 26, (attached photo) sports a Descente ski suit with Oakley goggles. Walton said he borrowed the suit from a friend for the event.

The event featured prizes for best costume, a raffle and a screening of a Warren Miller ski film. The event was held to promote sustainability and support The Environmental Center.
