Scope and content
Large gathering of skiers outside Paradise Inn, Mount Rainier National Park, waiting for the ski race events in February, 1938. The windows of the Inn can be seen in the drifts of snow. The Winter Sports Carnival, sponsored by the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce and other civic organizations, drew many competitors annually from the Pacific Northwest region. 5000 skiers and spectators were expected to attend the two-day carnival, which featured a free carnival dance and coronation of a queen, skiing under floodlights, and Sunday races.
