Trappeur

This original vintage ski poster promotes Trappeur, the Wolverine World Wide Ski Division, and features a dynamic action photograph of Alain Penz.

The composition captures the skier mid-turn, carving powerfully through the snow with strong diagonal movement and excellent sense of speed. The monochrome photographic style enhances the athletic intensity, while the bold red “TRAPPEUR” lettering at the top provides a striking contrast and clear branding. The image is closely tied to the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 1970, as indicated by the bib reading “FIS 1970 Gardena,” adding both authenticity and historical significance.

This poster reflects the era’s approach to sports advertising, using real competition imagery to convey performance, credibility, and excitement—particularly appealing to ski enthusiasts and collectors of winter sports memorabilia.

The poster shows signs of use, including some general wear and pinholes in each corner from display. Despite this, the image remains strong and visually impactful.

A bold and authentic piece of ski history, ideal for collectors of alpine sports, vintage advertising, or mid-century sporting culture.
