Dianne Mello and our friends at the Framed Art Superstore are at it again! They will be releasing the SIXTH in their series of Vintage-looking local Ski Posters this November.

So which mountain will it be? So far, they've featured Attitash, Cranmore, and Wildcat mountains. So what is your vote? Has your favorite mountain been featured yet? Will there be more funny hat wearing skiers in this one? Stay tuned this fall to find out the answers these burning questions!
