This film, from around 1939, depicts early ski mountaineering on Mount St. Helens. Ralph Eskenazi, Sigurd Hall, and John James ascend and ski down the mountain.
This footage is part of a larger ski documentary titled Northwest Mountain Skiing, B.C. (Before Chairlifts), which includes clips from other historic ski ascents in the Pacific Northwest.
