Snowbird Utah

[Salt Lake City]: Feelgood Productions, 1991. Color poster [57 cm x 38 cm] / [22.5" x 15"] Small pin hole at head with a bump to the lower border. Bright. Charming poster for the legendary ski area in Little Cottonwood. Planning for the ski area that was to become known as Snowbird began operation in 1967. By 1971, former Alta employee, Ted Johnson, and Texas oilman and rancher, Dick Bass partnered to open a second ski area in Little Cottonwood, Snowbird. When it opened, Snowbird consisted of one lodge and three restaurants. Ski runs were reached by the Snowbird Tram, which still takes skiers to the top of 11,000 foot Hidden Peak, and three chairlifts, the Wilbere, Gad I and Gad II, named for Gad Valley. Since then a number of new lifts have been added, as well as many more condominium lodges, restaurants, and other amenities. From the earliest days, Snowbird was planned to be a summer resort as well, offering tennis courts, hiking and mountain biking, the annual Oktoberfest, the Snowbird Institute, and many other features. The Bird is known the world over for deep powder and steep terrain. (Inventory #: 10514)
