Timeline
She won the combined title at the second A-K race, held in St. Anton in 1929.
American skier Alice Kiare described Sale-Barker as a striking figure:
In 1929 a letter was received inviting the British to send skiers to compete in an event in Poland.
The organisers in Zakopane were surprised to find that the British team included Sale-Barker and another LSC founder member Doreen Elliott.
In 1929, Sale-Barker earned her 'ticket' from the Royal Aero Club (RAeC).
In October and November 1932, she and another female pilot, Joan Page, flew from London to Cape Town in a de Havilland Gipsy Moth.
They were held up for a time in Cairo when the Sudanese authorities wouldn't permit them to fly through the country.
On their return from Cape Town, they crashed near Nairobi; Page broke her leg, and Sale-Barker suffered a minor head injury.
According to one contemporaneous account, the women were sighted by scouting plane and then located by a rescue party.
But according to another, more persistent account, the aviators were saved when a Maasai tribesman came upon them, and Sale-Barker sent him for help with a note written in lipstick, reading "Please come and fetch us. We've had an aircrash AND ARE HURT."
She had the note framed and it hung in her Dorset home.
Sale-Barker was captain of the British women's team at the 1936 Winter Olympics, held at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, the first Olympics to include alpine skiing.
In June 1940, Sale-Barker joined the Women's Section of the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA), the organisation responsible for ferrying military aircraft from the aircraft-factories to the RAF units.
On 30 November 1945, it was Sale-Barker who was charged with lowering the ATA flag for the last time.
After her marriage to George Douglas-Hamilton, 10th Earl of Selkirk in 1947, she became Audrey Douglas-Hamilton, Countess of Selkirk.
An inaugural member of the Ladies' Ski Club organized by Sir Arnold Lunn, she was the first female skier to win the diamond badge at the prestigious Arlberg-Kandahar race, signifying at least four top-three finishes in the combined race.
On 6 August 1947, she married fellow-aviator George Douglas-Hamilton, 10th Earl of Selkirk, one of the legendary Douglas-Hamilton brothers, all four of whom had distinguished wartime careers in the RAF.
The couple had no children.
Audrey Florice Durell "Wendy" Drummond Sale-Barker (1903 in Chelsea, London – 21 December 1994 in Dorset, England ) was a British alpine skiing champion and prominent aviator.
She was the daughter of Maurice Drummond Sale-Barker and the grand-daughter of children's writer Lucy Sale-Barker.
She died in 1994, just one month after her husband.
In a remembrance written a few days after her death by her sister-in-law, Elizabeth Douglas-Hamilton, Duchess of Hamilton and Brandon, she described her postwar married life as a selfless one, dedicated to supporting her husband and those in need.
Her nephew is the Scottish Conservative politician James Douglas-Hamilton.
Elliott and Sale-Barker were allowed to join the skiing competition and the skiers were impressed when they finished 13th and 14th.
