The blue peak and its white trail again, a red sun at the left and a gold crescent at the upper right, SHAWNEE PEAK in red block caps — and underneath, in small blue letters, the line the mountain ran for its night skiing: RACING WITH THE MOON.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour words, stitched onto a patch, doing more work than most resorts manage in a whole brochure. It doesn't mention snow, terrain, lifts or vertical. It tells you what it feels like to be on that hill at eight o'clock on a February night, which is the only thing anybody was ever actually buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaglines almost never make it onto patches. The format is too small and the lettering too expensive, so what you normally get is a name and a picture. Somebody at Shawnee Peak paid for the extra line and was right to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grey border is the other tell. Nobody edged a patch in grey before the late eighties; it was the decade's idea of restraint, arriving immediately after the decade that put neon pink on everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmbroidered on twill, merrowed edge. Photos are the condition report.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ropetow Vintage Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57373831889201,"sku":"RV-ME-194","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/2048\/7473\/files\/shawnee-pleasant-05.jpg?v=1794066053","url":"https:\/\/ropetowvintage.com\/products\/shawnee-peak-racing-with-the-moon","provider":"Ropetow Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
