Vintage Post Cards, Brochures, and any other Antique images.

We think the continuity reflected in decades of Positive Experience References
for Tremblant Guest Visits are nicely summed up with this lead example:

circa: February 8th, 1948

“It’s Beautiful Here and we’re having a swell time.
Think we will spend the rest of the winter."

Good Decision...
Above: What more could you possibly say?

Below, Re: Above: Sometimes Post Stamps are difficult to read, so there
are some instances where similar, but more legible Post Stamps can help
set the time context for those less legible. In the case of the card above,
the time-stamp is not clearly readable, but in the card below, there is far
more legible detail and because the configuration of the cancel stamp is
far more legible, we can use that known information to help decipher the
above cancel stamp which think is: 8/Feb/1948. Below is 3/March/1948

Additionally, the Stamp Image and Price at 3 cents is the same, so based on
the notion of periodic price increases, if we could not read the the cancel date
of the above at all, we could have assumed they are of approximately similar
vintage.
We do not have a reverse image for this one below, however, we would estimate
approximate early 1960’s vintage based on Clothing Styles and Photographic
Process quality.

January 1942, Harpers Bazaar Magazine Excerpt.

“Then And Now”:

61 years between “Now and Then”!

We find it endlessly fascinating to try to identify Pic.Locations
from vintage images when they are not labeled or obvious, so
when we saw this excerpt from Sports Illustrated Magazine from
1956, we had a pretty good idea where it was taken from.

If you’re a long term, experienced Tremblant Fan, can you guess
where this shot is taken from before you scroll down to our detective work?

(Please Note: Scroll Laterally ---->> for complete images if necessary.)

We would be willing to bet you a few dollars
that the above picture was taken on “Lowell Thomas”,
Tremblant Versant Nord, North Side, Trail #67,
just below the Summit. Below is an excerpt from
a Feb. 1, 2017 File shot of ours and what we would
draw your attention to are the two white portions
that are snow covered rock faces on background
hill-sides, as well as the small snow/ice covered
frozen lake surface on extreme right frame side,
and the main, rounded, tree covered topographical
rise in the foreground. All of those elements can be
seen above and below.(**)

(Below this image, you will find the zoomed-out,
full frame version that this excerpt is from.)
Below is our 2.1.17 annotated full frame version where the
Red Box represents the excerpt. Skis, poles, Skiers, and
all other background etc., are all shown for scale and
conditions reference.

(**) We think the actual Sports Illustrated image was taken
a few metres farther down the trail from where our file shots
were taken. The Lowell Thomas Trail naturally curves towards the
left over a small crest(seen above where the far Skier is), and
from that vantage point, more of the trail can be seen, as it is
in the Sports Illustrated Pic. Our file shots were the closest we
can identify with in our archives.
