The 2012 limited edition of the exquisitely, grafted calendar, put together by the well-known designers Gerhard Lucian and Thomas Ebster from the Austrian ski region of Vorarlberg, is soon available. Ski Instructors from 10 different nations will be presented in an athletic setting showcasing their best attributes.

Julia Mancuso, the American-born beauty and Olympic medal winner will grace this year's cover. The shooting of the Mancuso cover took place at Reiteralm. The rest of the calendar was shot on location in the world-renowned ski resorts of Garmisch-Partenkirchen (World Cup 2011), Germany, and the Austrian resorts of Schladming/Dachstein (World Cup 2013) and Lech/Zuers, the latter being the birthplace for this calendar project.

The creative team Hubert von Hohenlohe, a former ski racer, turned star photographer, and his partner Florian Herzog, have been recognized worldwide for this creative endeavor. The calendar has cult status among its fan base.

Striking perspectives and strong characters dominate the male version, starring famous ski stars like Rainer Schönfelder, Wolfgang Hörl und Christoph Dreier.

A "must have" for every sports enthusiast, who is looking for something special to decorate their wall space for the coming winter. This high quality production has been put together by CD CARTONDRUCK AG, Obersulm.
