Valley of Dreams limited edition poster
In the beginning, just getting to Wentworth was an adventure. Snow-covered roads meant arriving by train was the only option, and without lifts, every run meant a tough climb. Among those pioneers was George Wilson, whose family owns Wentworth today. The Second World War saw skiers replaced by soldiers, as the site was used for training soldiers from Camp Debert.

An Homage To Dave Wilson
From the design and production team, to the fonts designed by local typographer Rod MacDonald, the team was committed to creating a poster series that reflected the region.
The poster series is an homage to the legacy created by Dave Wilson and his father George, and the many founders and friends of the mountain. The series reflects the pride the Wilsons-past and present-take in the community.
Inspired By The Travel Poster
The poster designs are based on the travel poster, whose golden age was the 1920s-60s. Travel was booming and advertisers used bold lines and brilliant colors to connect with a sense of adventure and exploration. As a result, posters from that era have become collectibles and vacation souvenirs.
A Limited Edition Series
An art form in its own right, screen printing is a painstaking process completed by highly skilled craftspeople. Each of the 5-6 meticulously mixed inks is hand-printed in layers by pressing ink through a screen. As it’s done by hand, each poster is unique. Each print is limited to 90 prints, numbered and signed by the artist.
