Description
Photograph of a large group of people tobogganing at Big Pines mountain camp, ca.1930. In the foreground, a group of people stand around in the snow. To their right, two people stand beside an upright toboggan. At center, people of all ages walk about, some dragging toboggans, others riding them, and some without. In the distance is a large crowd, in the middle of which is a small snow-covered cabin and what appears to be a snow sculpture with crown-like embellishments on its head. Behind all this is a snowy bank and a thick forest area.
