Scope and content
When the 1938 Silver Skis race was cancelled on March 27th, due to adverse weather conditions for the second year in a row, promoters quickly organized alternate entertainment for the near record crowd. Ski stars already on hand for the race were given the opportunity to show off special stunts on a ski jump. Here one unidentified skier performs a flip to the amazement of a line of spectators. The Silver Skis was a grueling race that required participants to trek at daybreak up Mt. Rainier to Camp Muir, 10,000 feet above sea level, and ski down. ( (T.Times, 3/28/1938, p.1).
