"This year’s holiday show beckons viewers to the mountains with a richly diverse selection of ski posters from 1908 through the 1970s. More than 100 rare, original vintage posters tell the tale of the fascinating transformation of skiing from a sport into a global industry, showing changes in equipment, technique, competitions, and facilities over the years.
One of the most sought-after poster collectibles today, ski posters capture the joy of fresh mountain air and the exhilarating rush of a downhill run through tree-lined glades. Combining travel, sports and fashion, the ski poster has achieved immense popularity, rivaling the traditional blue chip categories of ocean liners and luxury trains."
