For artist Malin, highly regarded for his aerial shots, this series represented his first ski-specific retro collection that includes on-the-ground images. Other prominent Aspen locations featured in this series includes Buckhorn Cabin on Aspen Mountain, Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro on Aspen Highlands and Lift 1A, which once was renowned as the longest ski lift in the world when it opened in 1947 as Lift 1.
“I am so thrilled to have been able to work with The Little Nell on this special photo series. My goal was to capture a vintage perspective on the undeniable glamour of this iconic location while conveying the sense of inclusiveness that is synonymous with Aspen’s ski community,” said Gray Malin.
“Styling vintage props and clothing from the 1950s-1980s against the stunning winter backdrops of Aspen was something out of a dream – I could feel the nostalgia in each photograph.”
