Scope and content
The 1938 Silver Skis downhill race at Mount Rainier. Skiers maneuver their way through the snow as the trees and mountains cast a crisp backdrop on the scene. The record crowd of 8,000 was disappointed when competing skiers had to turn back at 9600 feet above sea level, near McClure's Rock, due to gale force winds. The race was cancelled for the second year in a row and an exhibition slalom was substituted for the audience's entertainment. (T. Times, 3/28/1938, p.1).
