VAIL, Colo., 2023-Jan-18 — /Travel PR News/ — Sixty years young with an energy that never goes out of style, Vail Mountain today (17 January 2023) announces the launch of Gray Malin in Vail, the second installment of fine art photographer Gray Malin’s collection celebrating the legendary resort’s 60th Anniversary. Following Gray Malin’s aerial shoot over Vail Mountain released last month, the new Gray Malin in Vail series brings the mountain’s storied emotions to the forefront through a series of photographs inspired by the Vail lifestyle in the 1960s. Known for effortless fun and energy around every turn, the classic spirit of Vail Mountain comes to life in a modern, vintage aesthetic that is unique to Gray Malin.
Diving deep into Vail Mountain’s photo archives, Gray Malin drew inspiration from the early days of Vail Mountain; from its vast terrain, limitless views, and seven legendary back bowls to its laidback après ski culture with spontaneous mountain picnics and ice bars made from snow. The Gray Malin in Vail series breathes new life into these nostalgic mountain moments in an iconic way that guests and fans will love.
“Gray Malin’s Vail series captures the beauty of our mountain’s vast terrain and the classic moments in our history that have shaped the mountain experience over the last 60 years,” said Beth Howard, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Vail Mountain. “We are excited to bring these photographs to life around the mountain through a series of nostalgic guest experiences and opportunities to interact with the artwork.”
“Gray Malin in Vail is a new fine art series that transports you to historic mountainside moments through a modern, vintage aesthetic,” said fine art photographer Gray Malin. “Looking through the Vail Mountain archives for inspiration, I sourced detailed props and wardrobe from the 1960’s, 1970’s and 1980’s to turn back time: the collection was shot entirely on the mountain from the Legendary Back Bowls to Eagle Bahn Gondola. This special series is full of après ski cheer, snowy adventures, and awe-inspiring views that I hope will evoke timeless nostalgia for the alpine lifestyle.”
The Gray Malin in Vail series is now available to the public and infused throughout the entire resort experience. Vail Mountain has displayed “then-and-now” images across the mountain, as well as launched new guest experiences inspired by the collection.
