Details

Call NumberTMD-387CreatorJulian, MacDate1943-1944SummaryStill from the Warner Brothers film: "Mountain Fighters." Fifty Tenth Mountain Division ski troopers during training practice forming a column of twos. One line of men occupies a hill in the foreground; another group occupies a hill in the background. Men are visible climbing the farther hill, skiing down to meet in a "Y", and joining with a partner from the other group. On the near hill, men at the back of the line "snowplough" to a stop and await their turn. All the men are on skis in winter uniforms and carry knapsacks and rifles. The snow is deep and pine trees cover the hills in the distance. Taken on the descent from Eagle Ridge near Camp Hale, Colorado.Physical Description1 photoprint : black-and-white ; 28 x 33 cm (11 x 13 1/2 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectEagle Ridge (Colo.)Ski troops--Colorado--Camp HaleSkiing--Colorado--Camp HaleSoldiers--Colorado--Camp HaleUnited States.
