These were taken by my dad and his friend during a trip to Mt Baker in the North Cascades Mountain Range of Washington state for a ski jumping event. I couldn't find much information on the internet but from what I understand for a few years there was an annual 4th of July ski jump here in the late 40's and 50's.

A little relaxation...
And a view from the parking lot. 😀

Another shot of him leaving the takeoff.
And a last shot of him jumping. I like that his friend taking the pictures move around a bit to change the perspective.
A look down at what I believe is the landing area.
My dad. I wish he was still around to talk about these adventures with me but I know he would be happy that these photos are being shared. 😍
During my research of this event I did find these old slides on Ebay. Here is the Ebay Link for anyone that is interested in seeing more.
