The heyday of its hard rock gold mining years coinciding with rapid innovations in ski binding technology, plus enough miners of Scandinavian heritage and of course, plenty of snow, resulted in numerous ski runs and a jump on Cow Mountain. A number of years ago, Robin Grady kindly loaned us an original felt badge that he and other members of the Wells Ski Club used to wear. Using this design, another variation we found, plus the club’s business cards and some photos, I rendered a facsimile version that I could screen print on shirts. Here’s the evolution of the design:
