About this design

Even Santa takes a day off on the slopes. This design shows him crouched low on long skis, poles angled behind him, racing downhill with his beard and hat flying in the wind. It is full of motion and perfect for ski lodges, family ski trips and anyone who loves winter sports.

The figure has nine pieces, including the separate skis and poles, and one small cut-out. The poles and ski tips are long and thin, so it does not pass our automated cut checks at small sizes and is listed for print and web. It cuts well from about 6.5 inches wide.

Color layers

  • Backing in cream
  • Design in red, with the beard and fur trim details

Winter sports projects

  • Family ski trip shirts printed or cut large.
  • Ski lodge or cabin signs.
  • Ski pass holders and luggage tags printed with Print Then Cut.
  • Hot cocoa mugs for après-ski.
  • Car window decals for the drive to the mountains.
  • Holiday cards for winter sports fans.

Size and cutting tips

For cutting, use 7 inches wide or more, so the poles and ski tips are wide enough to weed and apply. Keep the separate skis and poles on transfer tape so they stay in position. For printing, download a PNG at 300 DPI.

Step by step: ski trip shirts

  1. Set the design to 10 inches wide and download the solid style.
  2. Mirror and cut it from white iron-on vinyl for dark shirts.
  3. Weed carefully around the poles.
  4. Press it on the front of each shirt.
  5. Add the trip name and year in a bold font below.

Color ideas

  • Red and cream, the classic
  • White on navy for ski shirts
  • Neon colors for a retro ski look

Variations to try

  • Mirror it in the editor so Santa skis the other way.
  • Rotate it in the editor to make the slope steeper.

Good to know

For a simpler cut, hide the poles in your software. Santa still reads as skiing, and the design becomes much sturdier.

Design notes

Skis and poles are long, thin shapes, which is why this design needs a larger size for cutting. In print, the speed lines and the crouch make it one of the most dynamic designs on the site.
