Great job Danielle, Rebekah and Joseph! These films were so much fun to see and your commentary, Danielle, was great. I was never on the college ski team but certainly attended Winter Carnival races when I was a student since many of my friends competed. I’ve skied the Bowl many times over the last 30 years and it looked just as inviting in the 1930s as it does today. I hope the cold this weekend won’t affect the student fun for this Winter Carnival!
