Description
Photograph of a ski jumper and a panoramic view of Banff, ca.1920. A skier is seen mid-air as he leaps off the ski jump onto the frosty slope. In the snow-covered ground below, several people in dark-colored clothing watch the jump. Two horse-driven sleds can be discerned below as well. The landscape is covered in snow and dotted with trees. A small house can be seen in the white-blanketed distance.
