Ice maidens! Ski instructors peel off their thermals for raunchy calendar shoot in the snow

Here's one way to boost tourism at winter resorts. Pretty ski and snowboard instructors have stripped off for a 2013 calendar.
The models, including snowboard teacher and two times world cup race winner Julia Dujmovits, 25, forgo their usual thermal layers to pose in the cold temperatures.
The pictures were shot by Hubertus von Hohenlohe who said he travelled to 'the best skiing hotspots in the world' to create the calendar under the artistic direction of Thomas Ebster.

Class act: The women are all ski or snowboard instructors

Von Hohenlohe has previously shot nine ski calendars but said he wanted to make this one 'a bit hotter'. The models include ski teachers from ten different countries including Lebanon and Germany.

 

Some of the pictures show the women in just knickers and ski boots but Thomas said they were criticised for not showing enough nudity.

He said: 'Some people criticize us for not showing enough skin but you see nudity all around you these days and we wanted to do something more tasteful.'
And in the interests of equality, the pair are also shooting a second calender featuring male skiing instructors including five times ski world champion Marc Girardelli.
