Date1929

Can DescriptionsBox notes: "Bethel, ME, Feb. 1929"

Viewing NotesPeople skiing on snowy hill, passing camera as they go down a slope one by one. The hill is not groomed, so some cross-country ski, and some downhill ski on the same track. As some come down, others climb back up the hill, as there is no ski lift. Some are beginners, some try fancier turns. Women are in skirts or culottes, men in knickers. In one shot, a cameraman holds the camera as he descends the hill. CUs of passengers in an open car with fur throws and fur coats.
