Scope and content
On March 27, 1938, the Silver Skis race at Mount Rainier, from Camp Muir to Paradise, was cancelled due to gale force winds above 9,000 feet. A special exhibition slalom race was quickly organized to entertain the crowd of 8,000 spectators. They were also treated to skiing stunts performed by various ski stars on a special jump. (T.Times, 3/28/1938, p.1).
