Apres Ski So Swiss / So European -Hermes captured the idyllic nature of skiing so well with this image of a man taking a break to "Bronze" and have a cup of coffee before heading back out conquer the trails. This gent is clearly enjoying the moment and appreciating it by indulging in a smoke and un cafe, with no a worry in the world, nor a cloud in the sky. One of the most coveted Swiss Ski Posters!
