Written on the top edge “SEASONS GREETINGS,” along the bottom edge “CATHARINE AND PETER,” “Peter Whyte BANFF.” Near the BRC “6 1/2” and close to the TRC “3 1/2,” besides both numbers it appears to say “inches.”verso: landscape with an artist sitting at the top of the hill painting, there is a plane and a mountain in the background. In the BLC there are ink scribbles and “Peter Whyte” as a practice signature and the initials “P.W.”

He is going quite fast as there is a cloud of snow being kicked up behind him. In the background there are some clouds, and what appears to be the start of a mountain ridge being drawn. In the second drawing in the right section of the page, there are two distinct figures. One is carrying his skis up the hill, while another figure (which resembles the person in the first drawing on this page) is skiing down the hill. Along the horizon line there looks to be other people at the top of the hill watching on or waiting to head down themselves.
