About this postcard

A lone skier stands on an open snow slope at Soda Springs, with tall snow-covered evergreens framing the run and a cleared trail visible on the hillside beyond. The scene suggests a small early ski hill rather than a large resort. In the early 1900s, recreational skiing in the United States was still a young pastime, often centered on local slopes and mountain resort hills. The single skier and open run fit that era, before lift-served skiing became common.
