Description
Photograph of people at a toboggan slope at Big Pines mountain camp, ca.1930. At center, two toboggan trails are marked out on a snow-covered slope. In the left foreground, two people sit on their toboggan at the end of one of the trails. Another pair make their way down the middle of a toboggan trail to the right. A man with a shovel pats more snow down onto the left trail, while several people line the slope watching. On a snowy embankment on the left, a small crowd assembles with their feet submerged in the snow. The edge of what appears to be a cabin pokes from the side at left. The background is thick with snow and lined with trees.
