Additional Information
Photographed in 1956 by Toni Frissell on assignment for Sports Illustrated, this vivid color image captures skiers on the powder slopes above Zermatt, Switzerland. The photograph was part of a series documenting alpine skiing in the Alps and was published in the magazine's December 23, 1957, issue.
Zermatt, nestled at the base of the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps, has ranked among the world's premier skiing destinations since the early twentieth century. Its dramatic scenery and deep powder snow, combined with access to some of the highest skiable terrain in Europe, have attracted skiers for generations.
Frissell brought the same creative vision to her sports photography that distinguished her fashion work for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, capturing athletes in motion against spectacular natural backdrops. Her color images from mountain assignments preserve a remarkably vibrant record of mid-century skiing culture at its most glamorous.
This stunning photograph stands as a testament to Frissell's remarkable ability to convey the thrill of alpine sport amid breathtaking mountain scenery, offering a window into the golden age of European skiing. It appeals to collectors of vintage winter sports photography, Swiss alpine imagery, and mid-twentieth-century editorial photography.
