Title	Ski jumping at Big Pines Recreation Camp, 1929
Description	Photograph of ski jumping at Big Pines Recreation Camp, 1929. A skier with their arms raised is in mid air over at the top of the jump in the right foreground with the sloping snow hill below him at center. People stand on either side to observe the jump. Dark evergreen trees stand behind the crowds and continue into the background.; "In 1923, Los Angeles county established a major recreational facility at Big Pines, an all year resort that included winter and summer sports. Big Pines Recreation Camp (elevation 6,862 feet) had cabins, dining room, fountain and store. Many of the buildings still stand (most notably one of the two stone towers that once supported a pedestrian overpass across Highway 2, west of Wrightwood). Now administered by the U.S. Forest Service, Big Pines continues to be a popular recreation area encompassing three ski resorts, several campgrounds and Jackson Lake." -- unknown author.
