classic poster


Wooden skis, neck tie, formal jacket tanned skin wearing a ball cap out touring in the mountains and schushing down hill all day long. Good corn tours under sunny skies. The classic poster just sayd it all.

Paying tribute to the last days of Baldy this season I went looking for various photos that might reflect the past glory of skiing on baldy and offer a view of the past. This shot from the 1950's show the rfashion, graceful ski arch of wood forcused around by leather boots and the valley far below sparcley populated looking east off into Trail Creek.
