WINNER OF THE 2017 ISHA’S SKADE AWARD

Relive the exciting early days of skiing when Snoqualmie Pass used to be the epicenter of the game. Ski jumping tournaments attracted world-class competitors to Cle Elum, Beaver Lake at the Summit and the Milwaukee Ski Bowl. The Mountaineers’ twenty-mile race from Snoqualmie to Stampede Pass, dubbed “the sector’s longest and hardest race,” used to be a pinnacle of cross-country skiing. Alpine skiing started in private ski clubs and expanded in 1934 with the rustic’s first municipal ski area, referred to as the Seattle Municipal Ski Park. And the game peaked when the Milwaukee Ski Bowl at Hyak opened in 1938. With train get entry to, a brand new ski lodge, an overhead cable lift and free ski lessons from the Seattle Times, the Ski Bowl revolutionized local skiing. Lawyer and local ski historian John W. Lundin follows the historic tracks throughout the genesis of American skiing.
