Skiers find spots to watch a race on Alta Vista at Mount Rainier National Park in the mid 1930s. In 1935, Paradise hosted the U.S. National Championship, an event that determined the team for the 1936 Olympics. “These tryouts were especially significant because 1936 was the first Olympics to include alpine skiing,” skiing historian Lowell Skoog told The News Tribune. “So this was the very first Olympic alpine skiing team that the U.S. ever selected.”Made/Created
