Description
Photograph of an impromptu ski joring race staged for winter visitors down the long side at Big Pines, ca.1930. Two male skiers hold hands as they race down the slopes. Both men don dark-colored garb, and the man at the right wears a light colored tie around his neck. Four people watch them race from the left-hand side of the foreground, and another group of people watch from behind. More people sit on a slope and watch the scene. The background is lined with snow and trees.
