Attitash Summerslide / Winterski, Blackletter — c. 1970s

A vintage Attitash ski patch, estimated to date from the 1970s, split down the middle by a white trail: green on the left with a sprig of blueberries and “summerslide,” blue on the right with a snowflake and ” The name runs across the center in blackletter, like the masthead of a small-town paper. Woven rectangle.

The alpine slide opened at Attitash in 1976. A mountain built for January was now selling August too, and somebody had to fit both seasons onto three inches of cloth. They did it with one curve.

It's the same trail either way. Wet or frozen, you come down it sitting.

Woven, merrowed edge. Photos are the condition report.
