The guy that built my house had these in his house for a long time and gave them to me today, I thought they were claim-worthy. Im not too knowledgeable in ski history so if someone would tell me a little bit about them and how old they are that would be sick! I think they are just old warren miller ski posters...
First one: (Old movie?)

Cliff jumper Scott Schimdt!!

Last one: definitely an old movie (autographed by Warren Miller himself!)

I thought it was funny to see them saying "frontflips on skis!" and "bobsleds at 75 m.p.h."
Also hadn't heard the name Stein Erickson in a very long time

I just wanted to know if these were as awesome as they seemed when i got them, thanks!

"Skiing's Great" came out in 1973, "Beyond the Edge" in 1986, and "Anyone for Skiing?" in 1957

I got the second one for Christmas a few years ago.  The one I have is not from 1986 (or whenever the movie came out) cause it was a brand new poster, just with the old design on it.  I hope your's is actually from the year, cause that would be sweet.

Well I'm like 99 percent sure mine is from the original year because the guy that gave them to me is an old fart... but is there a way to tell?

I have no idea...maybe by just the wear of the paper.  Here's to hoping it is from the original year.
