Lowell_Skoog Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 The Ellensburg Cross-Country Ski Club has invited me to present my talk on Washington ski mountaineering history at their meeting on Wednesday, November 13, at 7 pm. This is the same presentation I gave at the Mountaineers Annual Banquet in Seattle on October 11. The presentation describes nearly 100 years of ski mountaineering in Washington, from 1909 to the present. It covers skiing on Mount Rainier before WWI, pioneering ascents of all the major peaks, the Silver Skis races of the 1930s, the WWII mountain troops, the post-war boom in downhill skiing and wilderness preservation, the telemark revival, and the modern development of high ski traverses and steep skiing. The program is illustrated with B&W and color slides plus a movie filmed in 1939. Wednesday, Nov. 13, 7 pm Ellensburg Cross-Country Ski Club Morgan Middle School 400 E. 1st Street Ellensburg, WA Admission is free For more on Washington ski mountaineering, see http://alpenglow.org/ski-history [ 10-29-2002, 09:54 AM: Message edited by: Lowell Skoog ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
