I really love vintage ski posters, and occasionally I will also run across something really interesting like this advertisement for Alpine tourism in the USSR from Intourist. I cringe at what it must have been like to take an Aeroflot jet to some far-off Soviet backwater to climb mountains under the care of besotted mountain guides with dubious credentials. That may not be an accurate picture of how these tours were run, but it's fun to imagine.
