Description: This New Yorker cover from January 24, 2000, brings a splash of humor to the snowy slopes. Two skiers speed downhill—one with cool confidence, the other with wide-eyed panic and knees clutched tight. Set against a crisp alpine backdrop, the contrast between their expressions is a perfect snapshot of the thrills (and chills) of skiing.
Artistic Insight: Created by cartoonist Harry Bliss, this cover was chosen to capture the spirit of winter recreation—equal parts excitement and mild terror. It’s a relatable nod to anyone who’s ever hit the slopes a little too fast or signed up for more adrenaline than expected. Bliss’s playful take on human behavior in exaggerated moments makes this cover a favorite among both snow lovers and humor fans.
