Showing the perfect form of a professional ski jumper. Looking down we can see Highway 40, formerly the Lincoln Highway below. This ski hill at bottom is now covered by Interstate 80.
Prizes for the contests were generously donated by the merchants of Auburn, Colfax, and the resort owners along the Truckee Highway. Prizes will be awarded at a banquet at the Monte Vista Inn. Wendel Robie is one of the judges, while Virgil Harden is the “Bugler.”
Lots of well-known names listed as competitors and officials in the pamphlet. Sigurd Vettestad, Roy Mikkelsen, and others.
The competition will include jumping, cross-country, and a new sport, “Down Mountain Race.”
