The Freedom Jeep: from the Arlberg to the Snowy Mountains

In 1949, four Czech skiers who had escaped communist Czechoslovakia used a Second World War Jeep to power a ski tow in the Austrian Alps. Their journey would later become part of Australian skiing history.

We’re delighted to share this illustrated story by Michael Nekvapil, whose parents Saša and Karel were among the four. Michael draws on family memories and photographs he recently discovered among Frank Příhoda’s effects. Our thanks to Michael for telling their story and to Petr at SNOW.cz for bringing it so beautifully to the page.
