Out of all the Northern Soul I have ever heard this is right up there with my all-time favorites. Really hits home in my memories. Unfortunately, if I tried dancing and back dropping today I might dislocate my back and need the hip replacement readjusting. Just about manage a shuffle today but my head still says yeah do it. See you in the A and E
Oh my God, I've just listened to this for the first time in over 40 years. Love it!!! So many happy memories of dancing at 'The Place' in Stoke. This song and 'Footsie' are two of the best. Thanks for posting them.
LOVE this song so much.. and the best part is.. Jim McClusky (lead singer) was on a karaoke site i use and sang this for us on there.. made me smile so much! Best northern soul song ever!
I have been the same as well, especially at parties. By the way, are you the same Jayne Cooper that I once used to play with all of 50 years ago, daughter of Bill & Sheila originally of Northwood Park Road, Wolverhampton?
1975 on #mymusicalroadto50 Wigan’s Ovation - Skiing in the Snow Another one of my sisters singles. I was drawn more to the label than the actual music itself. Again a song which belonged in the 60’s and a quick wiki-look shows that it was indeed a re-recording of a song originally released in 1964.
You are so right DR Watson,The invitations version is one of the top 50 NORTHEN SOUL FLOOR FILLERS, MY favorite Invitations song though, is LOOK ON THE GOOD SIDE CLASSIC PHILLY SOUL!
My parents had this record when I was young. All I could remember was the song it title and the record label but not who recorded it. Thanks to the uploader for helping find me this song again.
+jane henson taylor yes I used to wait till I had had a couple of beers first ha ha. I will tell you another great song I used to play. it's called I've been hurt by guy Daryl
Sue brillant fergy . Not at all. Try Sat nights, BBC radio York. John Kane 6-8pm and see if I am a snake person. He is actually broadcast on all the local BBC stations on Saturday. And don't such be an NS snob. Too many already.
What's the "B" Side to this Please?..My Sister used to have this version on Spark but I can't remember what the "B" side is for the life of me..Cheers..:)
This actually came out in spring 1975 after, the snow season. Their only hit, and it did get into the charts.
This song brings back so many Happy memories, even my old body feels like it can do all those old moves😂

Instant early '75 for me!
Northern Soul meets the Bay City Rollers!!!
i so love his, few years ago at a holiday camp with kids and hubby, they played this, i was only one on the dance floor lol
I have been the same as well, especially at parties. By the way, are you the same Jayne Cooper that I once used to play with all of 50 years ago, daughter of Bill & Sheila originally of Northwood Park Road, Wolverhampton?
Can't stop listening to this song, so good ktf 😊😎🤗🤩
Northern Soul meets the Bay City Rollers!!!
wow memories of the Cartwheel club Elland West Yorkshire 1970s Happy Days
Used to work with the bass player from WO, always played down his time in the lime light
Wow! Memories of the snowy spring of 1975 and third-year school discos.
Im nearly 61 still a classic
a lot of people dont know this tune
I don't care that this song was manufactured to be a northern soul song...It really works for me...GREAT SONG
Just thinking that before I played it.
Wasn't it originally by the Invitations?
Originally released by The Beach Girls (also known as The Rag Dolls) in 1964, and then by The Invations in 1965
Manufactured? Well, it's a damn good product!
My favourite ❤
Thanks for posting song. wigans ovation brill. brings back some very fond memories, best version eva.
Fantastic song 👌
Remind me of dancing to northern soul in the headland in early 80s we may not had a lot but we knew about fun with lovely girls lol

This came out as a Double AA single personally on flip side love it 👍😍
I was 12years old when this came out.
Me too I love this and footsee and 7 days is too long by Chuck wood

40 years, judging by when you posted your comment
1975 on #mymusicalroadto50
Wigan’s Ovation - Skiing in the Snow
Another one of my sisters singles.
I was drawn more to the label than the actual music itself.
Again a song which belonged in the 60’s and a quick wiki-look shows that it was indeed a re-recording of a song originally released in 1964.
Heard this very loud in a pub tonight sounded fantastic
I am lucky to have the original single
Takes me right back to being 12 yrs old at The Beechdale Youth Club at Frank F Harrison School. 🥰
great song great version !

Northern Soul meets the Bay City Rollers!!!
When everyone refers to Northern Soul they never play this. I've got the single and love it.
primary school memories
LOVE 💞
It's going to snow in Nottingham tomorrow this is going on TikTok with one of my videos
This si the sort of thing that brings Northern Soul into disrepute. I love the Invitations and this was just a typical cash in.
IMO A better version too. albeit not the original but it didn’t do any harm to Wigan Casino. I think it made it more popular.
My favourite Version ..used to get up and dance every time I heard this :-)
mine to but I never used to dance as I was a dj and played this nearly every weekend
paul tidswell What? lol No bopping behind the desks while playing such good music ..;-)
+jane henson taylor yes I used to wait till I had had a couple of beers first ha ha. I will tell you another great song I used to play. it's called I've been hurt by guy Daryl
paul tidswell Haha that's more like it lol
Not heard that I don't think..Shall play it later and give you my opinion :-)
+jane henson taylor yes please it's a northern soul record I got it requested a lot
Classic northern soul
Iaten to 0.16...sounds like the beginning of 'Love really hurts without you' by Billy Ocean
Sandy lane yoth club oh what times😂
This song reminds me of wanting to take a girl named Yvette to ski in the Rockies (Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, or Utah).
Top tune
top nights at billy forom smashing my boty to bits on the ice danceing to the ovation top times
SHIT ! anyone that thinks this is Northern Soul has no clue
Takes me back to my first girlfriend, Kathryn, April 1975. So long ago.
Wheres the footage of this.was on TOTP2 years ago.someone find it.Steven Boswell.edinburgh
Classic this.Did'nt break into the pop charts?
number 12
I remember seeing them on TOTP back in the 1970s and yes they were in the charts.
Like this song KTF 😊😎🤗
2023
👍👍👍👍soul classic !!!!!!!
Sue brillant fergy . Not at all. Try Sat nights, BBC radio York. John Kane 6-8pm and see if I am a snake person. He is actually broadcast on all the local BBC stations on Saturday. And don't such be an NS snob. Too many already.
Sue brillant fergy .Sorry that was meant for Conner the comment before yours. Pressed wrong key.
@elvingtonred I echo your thoughts. What about the shite Soussan instrumentals? I am still in therapylol
classic soul
They looked like the wurzels,
What's the "B" Side to this Please?..My Sister used to have this version on Spark but I can't remember what the "B" side is for the life of me..Cheers..:)
BE WITH ME TONIGHT
Northern soul dancer, I've got the record in My hand as I text.
@samsonrottie hi, nooo man the invitations was much better but thats just my opinion-ktf
October 22
As they have been since 1975 .
Better than the original .....my opinion 😎
2022
DITTO ktf 🤩😊😎🤗
Irvine Welsh brought me here
prefer the other version pal ktf
Just listened to the Invitations skiing in the snow. In my opinion the wigan's ovation version is better.
Agreed...but the purists among we Northern Soul fans would probably spit on us in disgust...ha
Nah invitations classic sound wigans ovation good but no contest really. 😉
@chylogurti Those were also shite!
Me
Really shite, everything I started to hate about Wigan
Shite
