The railroad built a jump there and at Leavenworth to promote winter tourism. In the first picture there is what appears to me to be a snow shed over the tracks in the background. I love the single pole, yes, that was the style then. I learned to ski on seven foot long wooden skis just like those in the pictue. One foot for every year of age I guess. Did you know there used to be a ski lift at Paradise on Mount Rainier? They had to take it down in the spring and put it back up in the fall. Somewhere I have a photo of me sking there as a young boy (circa 1954), I will have to look for it. Hyak is probably a good guess.
