Scope and content
In April of 1935, Paradise at Mount Rainier was home to the US national alpine championships in the downhill and slalom. Most of the competitors were also vying for positions of the 1936 Olympic ski team. Spectators hiked an average of two miles one way in 12-20 foot snow to view the events. They also did a little skiing of their own. Skiers were photographed skiing off the roof of a snow-covered Paradise Lodge. Several groups of skis and ski poles have been placed on-end in the snow. Stock negative.
