After photographer Keerl shot the filigree of snowflakes on a window, Hellinger blew up the image and printed it in blue and green. Adding a dazzling yellow burst and multicolor snowflakes that resemble stars, he created a design that evokes both a Christmas tree and a holiday sky. With its bright couple out for a day’s skiing, the postwar poster emphasizes the pleasures of the event rather than its competitive nature. This is the French language variant.
