Ski Bretton Woods, Wordmark — c. 1970s

A vintage Bretton Woods ski patch, estimated to date from the 1970s, with “Ski Bretton Woods” stacked in black serif type and a small green cluster of stick-figure spruces off to the right. A white rectangle with a white merrowed edge. The trees are barely an inch tall.

Bretton Woods opened on December 29, 1973, the newest major ski area in New England, with 1,100 feet of vertical in sight of the Presidential Range. Governor Meldrim Thomson reportedly learned to ski there the following month.

This is the patch from the first winters, when the mountain was new enough to have to tell you what to do there.

Embroidered on twill, merrowed edge. Photos are the condition report.
