"Skier’s Guide to Etiquette” Wood & Metal Wall Art

A Retro Ski Poster That Brings Humor and Nostalgia to Your Mountain Cabin

Before neon ski suits and high-speed lifts, there was a time when skiing was as much about style and civility as it was about speed. The “Skier’s Guide to Etiquette” Wood & Metal Wall Art captures that golden age of alpine leisure — a lighthearted, vintage-inspired reminder that good manners never go out of season.

This witty vintage wall art features a charming mid-century illustration of two cheerful skiers pausing for advice — alongside a tongue-in-cheek list of etiquette tips that range from “dress properly” to “don’t show off your prowess.” Playful yet polished, the design evokes the nostalgia of 1940s and 1950s ski posters — those iconic prints that once graced lodge walls and winter resorts across Europe and the American West.

Each “Skier’s Guide to Etiquette” Wood & Metal Wall Art is handcrafted in the USA by Old Wood Signs, a heritage maker of nostalgic wall décor since 1986. Choose between wood panel or metal finishes to suit your space. The wood version, made from real pine planks, offers a rustic, lodge-style charm — its visible grain and lightly distressed edges suggesting years of fireside laughter and après-ski storytelling. The metal edition, with its smooth surface and crisp detailing, adds a sleek retro edge that fits perfectly into modern interiors with a vintage twist.

Both versions feature UV-resistant, fade-proof inks, ensuring that the humor and color of this mid-century ski scene stay as fresh as a powder day. Each piece arrives ready to hang, making it easy to bring a dash of alpine nostalgia into your cabin, chalet, or ski-themed living space.

The “Skier’s Guide to Etiquette” Wood & Metal Wall Art fits seamlessly into Mid-Century Lodge decor — styles that embrace warmth, personality, and the storytelling power of retro design. Hang it in a mountain retreat, hallway, or game room to add a touch of humor and history. Its vintage typeface and classic ski imagery spark instant conversation, appealing to anyone who’s ever fumbled a pole, missed a turn, or laughed their way down the slopes.

Perfect as a gift for ski enthusiasts, cabin owners, or lovers of mid-century design, this piece celebrates both the sport and the spirit of skiing — with a wink and a nod to good manners and good fun.
