The intricate details in this print transport us back to a time when these icy slopes provided endless fun and excitement for both locals and visitors alike. The carefully constructed runs depicted in this image highlight the ingenuity and creativity of the people who built them, transforming ordinary landscapes into thrilling winter wonderlands.

As we gaze upon this historic woodcut, we can almost feel the chill of the crisp winter air and hear the laughter of those enjoying this exhilarating pastime.
