Where to buy vintage skis and vintage ski posters

Killington Vermont Chair Lift in a Snow Storm. Vintage skis and ski posters

Danger! Don’t buy anymore vintage skis and vintage ski posters until you have read this.

Before you buy anymore vintage skis and vintage ski posters for your ski chalet and ski lodge decor please take a look at my fun and vibrant and sometimes a bit crazy ski paintings. I’ve got colours to match every colour scheme you would want including black and white, neutrals and just plain crazy colors too.

If you are short on time drop me an email or call me on whats app and let me know what you want and I’ll dust away all these vintage skis posters ideas into the back closet and bring in some new vibrant energy to give your walls the uplift they would all love to have.

First take a look at my Top 30 ski prints and posters and if heaven forbid you have gone over to the dark side then in private take a look at the snowboard prints from the comfort and security of you closet.

If you want some more ideas then check out the interior design ideas below minus any vintage skis. But I do have my own take on vintage ski posters just in case you still hanging onto some element fo vintage for posterities sake.

Interior design ideas for ski lodges and ski chalets using Pete Caswell Art and Paintings designs.

Pete has worked on some fabulous interior design projects with clients in Europe and the USA. It all started with his ski prints, ski posters and original ski paintings which added a splash of colour and vibrancy to the traditional ski chalet and lodge decor of old skis and vintage ski posters.

While Pete loves some of the historic design ideas of the last century he is keen to work with interior designers to bring the best of his art into these modern inspiring buildings and make them sing a new song.

There are a few ideas that Pete has on his ski print and poster site but in recent years it has been easier to work directly with interior design clients to get the best results. Pete has so many ski paintings in many colours even black and whites or muted colours. Over the years he has taken some close up photographs of sections of paintings with bold colour schemes, fun textures or just crazy skiers and snowboarders. So once you have a few ideas its best to contact Pete direct.

Some projects have involved extra large prints and posters. Sometimes original ski paintings are re done with a twist and made to fit the space. Some clients have chosen their favourite paintings which have sold over the years and Pete has re painted them in the correct sizes to fit the space. For extra large ski prints and posters you need to contact Pete directly to custom order through another printer.

In recent years one of Pete’s loves has been taking sections from paintings and printing them onto materials for cushions, curtains and throws to really add a sense of fun and drama to a room. Sometimes just budget cushions from a print on design manufacturer Pete uses are great or sometimes for a higher quality, some special fabrics are ordered to print on and the cushions are made up to a custom order. It’s so much fun and the results can be dazzling with some of the amazing images Pete has in his ski art collection. Contact Pete to discus some ideas

A real favourite for him has been producing sets of custom cups and coasters to give a really great talking point and add to the skiing vibe. These are only done to order as there are just so many designs to choose from. Contact Pete

When you have finished the design off why not try out one of Pete’s super colorful ski art books for the coffee table.

Hope you have enjoyed looking through all the colours and crazy designs. If anything has inspired you give me a call or email and see if we can come together on a fun project to add some light and love to a ski chalet. If you are international then Whatsapp works well for me. If you are in the UK come and visit or stay over in Pete’s studio to get a feel for all the colours and vibes he creates in his work.

Ski Poster Mayrhofen and the Harakiri Piste Zillertal

ski poster print harakiri mayrhofen

It was a few years ago I painted the Ski Poster of the Harakiri Piste in Mayrhofen. These super steep pistes always make a great spectacle to paint for my ski poster collection. The ski posters are also available as ski prints and canvases.

I really love to ski Mayrhofen for its wonderful Austrian ambiance and ski area.  Most of all the Harakiri piste, or piste 34, caught my eye for a ski painting to make into a ski poster and at 78% this is one of the steepest pistes there are and the steepest in Austria. I love to ski these steep pistes in fresh powder but when they get icy on my snowboard then have to say I will normally cut up the edge of the piste where the snow is still soft. Boards, steep pistes and ice are not a great combination.

I bought the Zillertaler Superskipass covering the entire Zillertal with 530km of pistes in the Ziller Valley and the Hintertux Glacier to explore. There are a couple more paintings to come from this area for a ski poster of the Hintertux glacier and the very top of the Harakiri piste where I love to watch those new to this very steep piste teetering on the edge ready to go or not.

Jackson Hole Snowboard Posters and Snowboard Prints

Jackson Hole Snowboard poster and snowboarder print

Pete has added Jackson Hole in Wyoming to his list of ski art for his artists collection of snowboard posters and snowboarder prints. They are a little on the more abstract side but great fun capturing the fun of this most famous of world renowned snowboard resorts.

Its a long time since I was in Jackson Hole and then only a brief visit but it has stayed in my mind ever since especially the Ariel Tram to Corbettes Cabin and Corbettes Couloir which I thought was just amazing and the stunts mind blowing.

The paintings are on the more abstract side where I have tried to capture my memories from that very special visit and capture the special feeling which I got on that trip to the USA.

The woods in the USA and the open mountains are a real treat for me as a snowboarder and the wonderful welcoming restaurants make for such a great visit.

Squaw Valley California Ski Painting

See the Ski Prints page https://petecaswell.co.uk/wp2/ski-prints/ We are currently developing a new Ski Print and Ski Poster site based with a UK printer www.skiprints.co.uk predominently for our Uk customers with Free UK / Europe Shipping.

You can still use the International Print site which also acts as a Back Catalogue of all the Ski Prints ever made from Pete’s Ski Paintings and has a few more options.

The International Ski Print site will ship locally from wherever you live. So if you live in the UK / Europe it will ship from the UK or Europe and if you live in the USA it will ship from the USA.

If you order from the USA then all prints will ship from the USA. If you live outside the USA then please read the shipping information below.

Shipping on International Print Site If you are ordering from the UK and Europe please just order either canvas prints or unframed prints. If you order a Framed print, currently the 2nd & 3rd one in the list of Frames (EXL2 EXL3) only ship from the USA. All the other frames ship from Europe which is ok. You can check where the order is shipping from in the final checkout where there is a flag next to each item and the shipping cost. Do check the flags at checkout as the frames shipping do change. If you live in the USA everything ships from the USA so no problems for USA clients. Go to the International Print Site which is operated by Fine Art America

I have been busy painting all the most popular ski resorts from France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland and now we are slowly touring the USA taking in a few more ski resorts each season.

Prints of My Paintings

One of the most paintable ski regions in the world and the food is great too. Dolomites in Italy. I will be heading back there soon to do some more painting.
PRINTS. I have been using Fine Art America for my prints for many years and they are a great printer still but a few of their products ship from the USA only. So in the cart check the flag next to the item you have ordered to check it is UK only. Avoid frames with codes EXL2 EXL3, GG1 and the frame on a canvas print, and all acrylic prints if you live in Europe. This is only a small proportion of the options but pretty annoying if you end up with one as the shipping is a lot.

All prints ship from UK / Europe – EXCEPT If you order a framed print with the frame codes of EXL2 EXL3, GG1…. all acrylic prints and any frames on a block canvas, they only ship from the USA. There are 13 frame options which ship from Europe and only 3 of these ship from USA, but they now come up early in the list. Email me if you need help. Cheapest is just order a print and have it framed locally. Then framed prints and canvas prints are also popular.

We are preparing a move to a UK only printer for our UK & European clients which will make the process a lot simpler.
