Handpicked by Vintage Seekers

This item was selected by the Retronaut aka Chris Wild in his Vintage Seekers top picks:

"I have never been skiing. I believe this is because I fear I would be found wanting on every aspect of the experience. Physical strength, physical beauty, enjoyment of sun, enjoyment of bright light, ability to engage in small talk, ability to enjoy alcohol - it is an exam that I fear I would fail entirely. This poster suggests there may once have been a space for someone with my preferences."
