Reviewer: Bruce Baker  
I had this poster in my bedroom as a teenager. The skier is Conrad (perhaps Konrad) Staudinger. He was a very well known Austrian ski instructor in the 60’s, 70’s, and beyond. A classic... another classic Sun Valley skier and instructor.

5 of 5 Original Sun Valley Poster February 9, 2017
Reviewer: DR from Yakima, WA United States  
I purchased this poster as a gift for a relative. I had it framed and he loves it! By chance do you know the name of the skier is in the poster?

I believe this is the old time Sun Valley  ski instructor, who is a native of Kitzbuhel, Austria. I met him at the 75th Anniversary of Sun Valley. His name is Siegfried (Sigi) Engl. If anyone thinks that this is the wrong info, please let us know at the Vintage Ski World office and we will correct this post. Thanks Richard Allen
