Fingerprint: SCHUSS in huge italicized red script, cross-country skier solid black silhouette pink chest oval lunging forward with pole, two elongated flat-color female figures right standing like mannequins one entirely blue one pale green-white, lower third plain red panel with colored isometric cubes asterisk starbursts, radiating pastel sunburst rays, hand-inked comic poster style
The most memorable element is the enormous slanted red script word that fills the whole right half of the artwork, its last letter given long wing-like speed streaks. Second is the black-and-white cross-country skier, drawn as a solid black silhouette with a pink chest oval, lunging forward with a pole. Third is the pair of tall flat-colour female figures standing calmly at the far right — one entirely blue, one pale green-white — posed like shop-window mannequins. Fourth, the whole lower third is a plain red panel scattered with blue, green, orange and white isometric cubes and asterisk starbursts, carrying tiny black 'credit' and 'ball in play' text.

| Kind | Description |
|---|---|
| Man | A single cross-country skier in a tight one-piece racing suit with a large pink oval panel on the chest and back, a close-fitting cap, dark goggles, black gloves and boots. drawn as a bold black silhouette with pink and white highlights, lunging forward, right arm extended ahead, left arm driving a thin pole down, one knee bent under the body and the other leg stretched back. he stands on a small grey oval shadow at centre. |
| Woman | At the right edge, a tall slim female figure painted flat glossy blue, wearing a pale blue-white one-piece leotard and knee-high boots, arms straight down at her sides, legs together, face a smooth featureless mask with dark eye slits. slim, adult, tall. |
| Woman | Immediately left of the blue figure, a second tall slim female figure in a pale green-white bodysuit, drawn in outline with a faintly modelled torso and hips, arms relaxed at her sides, face blank and pale, standing upright and static. only partly separated from the blue figure by an outline. |
A painted pinball backglass in a flat, hand-inked comic/poster style. The upper two-thirds is a winter-sports scene on a background of radiating pastel sunburst rays in pink, blue, white, orange and black. A stylised black-and-white cross-country skier dominates the centre-left: a slim man in a close cap, dark-rimmed goggles, a tight one-piece suit with a bold pink/red oval panel across the chest and back, black gloves and boots, leaning far forward with one arm punched ahead and the other driving a pole, one leg extended back. A huge italicised red script word with a white keyline runs behind and beside him, the letters leaning hard right and the final letter stretched with long speed-wings. At the right edge stand two elongated female figures rendered in flat colour: a glossy blue-skinned woman in a pale one-piece leotard and long boots, and beside her a paler green-white female figure in a bodysuit, both tall, slim and mask-faced. At the far left edge are loose orange-red line-drawn abstract shapes resembling a flame or splashed paint with a small green form inside. The bottom third is a solid red instruction panel carrying black-outlined white boxes, a row of small coloured rectangles and a scatter of isometric cube and starburst motifs in blue, green, orange and white. Tiny black lower-case lettering reads 'credit' and 'ball in play'.
