Whiteface Mountain 1980 Olympics Poster, Signed, Adirondack Ski Photograph 24x36, Lake Placid Wall Art
$35.00
Original vintage Whiteface Mountain poster from the 1980 Winter Olympics era, featuring a signed Adirondack ski landscape photograph.
This large 24 x 36 inch image captures Whiteface from across the valley rather than from the air, giving it a grounded, powerful perspective that sets it apart from the more common aerial views from that time.
To get this angle, the photographer climbed to a cliff on the opposite side of the mountain. The result is a view that feels real—closer to what people experienced standing there—showing the ski trails, winter light, and the full presence of Whiteface during one of its most historic moments.
Originally sold in Lake Placid during the Olympic period, this became one of the best-selling posters of the time. Each one is hand signed by the photographer, and this is an original print from that era—not a modern reproduction.
It’s the kind of piece that speaks directly to anyone who knows the mountain, skied it, or remembers what Lake Placid felt like in 1980.

My husband was happy to get the poster of Whiteface. We had seen the poster at a restaurant in Lake Placid, NY during a recent ski trip. He liked it so much that I was determined to find him a copy. Luckily for me, I was able to locate a copy on Etsy. The poster came packaged very nicely in plastic within a poster tube. It included a very nice thank you note from the seller to include a bit of history of the photo. I thought that was a really nice touch and that it went the extra mile. I would order from MountainAireVintage again.
