Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Attractive/interesting skiing related prints/artwork etc
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Hi - I received a birthday card with a nice skiing scene a few months back, and it struck me that I'd like to have some skiing related prints/images etc up on my wall.
The card I received was by a Louise Braithwaite. You can see another one of her paintings here:
http://shop.madloupublishing.com/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=25
Can anyone recommend any other artists/organisations who specialise in winter sports scenes?
Another style I like is the old adverts the French railways used to display encouraging people to travel to the Alps by train, and generally just promoting French resorts, but I'm not sure where i could find these.
Any thoughts/suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks.

I like these guys, modern but with a retro look:

Neil Neige, Also have a look on ebay.fr and USA.

We recently bought an original poster from the 1969 SNCF Dali collection, there were 6 in total, we bought the Alpes one and are considering buying the Roussillon one. That came from a shop in Paris who advertised via ebay France.
It was similar to this one-
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALPS-SALVADOR-DALI-VINTAGE-1970-S-N-C-F-LARGE-FORMAT-FRENCH-RAILWAY-POSTER-/360722254146?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&nma=true&si=ihlv2HbuMXx%252FIrnvE2b7z1i4gw4%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

We also bought an original 1950s poster advertising the Savoy region for the French railways - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290960487482?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
That came from a US gallery who advertised on ebay.

Try searching with either Alpes, Savoie or Savoy in the Art category, there are plenty of copies or reproductions and you have to search carefully to find the original posters but the 2 we received were both in good condition for their age.

Neil Neige, If you are still looking for the old SNCF travel posters have a look on leboncoin.fr website and search using 'affiche sncf', plenty available on there.
