Three skiers with packs and poles climb a snow-covered slope below a rugged, reddish rock ridge dotted with evergreens, with a broad snowy valley stretching away at left. The card's own caption calls the scene "ski mountaineering in scenic Utah," a reference to the state's Wasatch and Uinta ranges, which became a center of downhill and touring skiing in the 1930s and 1940s. The image is a typical linen-era view, hand-colored over a textured stock.
Linen-textured stock with a thin white border; light corner and edge wear.
No postmark or cancellation. Divided-back natural-color postcard, ca. 1930s–40s; printed caption block at left, "POST CARD" heading and stamp box at right. Light soiling/toning on cream stock; no handwriting.
