Skiing in the 70's

I've been working on a new project that has to do with skiing and color. So much of my idea of skiing was formed as I was learning to "stem christy" in the 70's. So it was interesting to dig up some of the imagery that I remember from that time. Many of these were posters on the walls of my bedroom, or images that were seared into my young, impressionable, midwestern ski-starved mind.

There is something that feels nice about these images and their color palettes. I'm not sure how much of my response is nostalgia, and how much is just awesome vintage color combinations, but I'm hoping to explore this idea and try to nail down what it is that's working.
