Ski High in the Canadian Rockies

We’ve seen this photograph before on a 1954 dinner menu that had “Canadian Pacific dining car service” in the lower right corner. Today’s 1960 menu says “Ski High. . .” on the cover in Bodoni typeface and was used on the Empress of Britain instead of in a dining car. As I’ve noted before, CP’s steamship menus seemed to use such styles as titles in the Bodoni typeface several years after the dining cars stopped using them.

The Canadian Pacific menu series page lists 13 menus still missing rom this web site. I’m sure there are more and that doesn’t include minor variations such as this one. A single photo of Mount Eisenhower was used on at least six different menu variations. My goal is to at least identify all of the variations that were used on Canadian Pacific dining cars.
