Description: San Francisco/Sacramento/Etc.: Winter Sports Committee, California State Chamber of Commerce, 1938. Softcover. First edition; 8 x 11 ½; pp. [7] including text to wraps; some rubbing to edges and spine; intersecting crease lines with wear along them; small penciled-in note to lower margin of front wrapillustrated with photographs and maps; good to very good condition. A fragile survivor of a time when skiing was picking up speed in California and the California Ski Association, established as a direct result of losing the 1932 Winter Olympic Games to Lake Placid, NY, was still in its infancy. Though titled with the somewhat generic "Winter Sports Guide," it was largely devoted to skiing and featured several drawn maps of ski trails and ski tows in Northern, Central, and Southern California, a 1938 - 1939 calendar of "where to go, what to do" detailing ski competitions, tours, classes, etc. and photographs of skiers, ski jumpers, and various events.
