Ryan, grandson of financier Thomas Fortune Ryan, \[and\] one of the instructors is a beautiful former model, Blanche Rybizka.” In the midst of one of the snowiest, most unsettled winters in decades, LIFE.com remembers that long-ago issue of LIFE — and the lovely Blanche Rybizka’s singular fashion sense — with a series of Alfred Eisenstaedt photos of Canadian winter scenery and winter finery.

Nunlike coif, worn under a cap keeps both ears and neck warm. Blanche's coifs, of which she has many, made by herself in different colors of wool jersey, have started a new ski-headgoer fashion.

Dark sweater or dark parka is usually combined by Blanche with lighter trousers. When skiing in a sweater on very cold days, she wears a parka underneath.

White parka is usually worn by Blanche with a pair of dark ski trousers. A parka is a lightweight hooded ski jacket. Over hood of parka Blanche wears a cap with visor. Alfred Eisenstaedt—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images  Mont-Tremblant, Canada, 1945. Alfred Eisenstaedt—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images  Caption from LIFE. Gray tweed jacket and other wool jackets are worn by Blanche on days when the wind doesn't blow too hard. Though warm, tweed is not as wind-resistant as closely woven cloth used for parkas.
