1943 Stevens Pass ski-chase film

Great timing considering the opening of Stevens today. Very funny, who would have though that ski chase movies would be of interest to people in those days. Man how times have changed.....now those dudes running uphill are in tights and sporting the lightest AT gear on the market and winning prize money........well kind of........lol

Those guys are trail breaking machines.

I have a feeling one of the pack skiers was my father in law, Sam Dix, stationed that winter as a Navy officer at Port Angeles, but apparently with enough free time to ski a lot. We have slides of him at Stevens Pass, even a trip to Sunshine Village in the Canadian Rockies (then a two room ski hut). He learned to ski in the Dartmouth Outing Club in the early 30's, with lessons from Dick Durrance, and knew how to turn.
