This is a striking orignial authentic vintage ski poster designed by the esteemed Sascha Maurer, promoting Old Forge, N.Y. as a premier ski destination.
The artwork features a cheerful woman dressed in bold red and blue ski attire, holding a Splitkein ski and waving joyfully. The background showcases pristine snow-covered slopes, with skiers carving their way downhill. The Flexible Flyer and Splitkein Østbye Patent logos at the top emphasize the brand’s connection to quality ski equipment.
This poster is a fantastic example of Maurer’s iconic style, characterized by vibrant colors, clean lines, and dynamic composition. Flexible Flyer licensed Norwegian Splitkein skis for U.S. production, and these posters were distributed to ski resorts across the country, each featuring a specific resort name at the bottom.
Condition: Very good, with minor repairs and mounted on linen for preservation. A rare and visually captivating piece for vintage ski and travel poster collectors!
