Skiing in the Modernist Age

Sports D'Hiver Dan Les Vosges - Roger Broders - ski poster
L'Hiver en Suisse - Erich Hermes - ski poster
Winter Sports in Italy - Franz Lenhart - ski poster

I don't envy their equipment (low leather boots and scary bindings), but I do envy their style. I've loved old travel posters for years and just came across this auction catalog of vintage tourism and ski posters. While some of these are well out of my price range, a few are temptingly affordable and unsold. Browsing the posters is a pleasantly nostalgic way to spend a sunny Friday afternoon.
