EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from January 5,1935, we witness a moment of sheer exhilaration as Hans Grage, an Olympic hopeful, appears to defy gravity by jumping right over the majestic Mt. Rainier in Washington. The image captures the essence of speed and motion as Grage propels himself through the air with his ski poles in hand. This historical snapshot showcases the thrill and excitement that winter sports bring to people's lives. Against a backdrop of snow-covered slopes, Grage's daring feat epitomizes the spirit of adventure and recreation found in North America's cold winters. The monochromatic aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this image, transporting us back to an era when skiing was still emerging as a popular leisure activity. As one man alone dominates the frame midair, it is impossible not to feel captivated by his athletic prowess and determination. Through Underwood Archives' lens, we are reminded of the indomitable human spirit that drives athletes like Hans Grage to push their limits on mountainsides. This photograph encapsulates both the physical challenge and pure joy that downhill skiing brings - a testament to our unyielding desire for outdoor sports even amidst freezing temperatures. As we admire this piece of history frozen in time, let us celebrate those who paved the way for modern-day winter sports enthusiasts while appreciating Mount Rainier's breathtaking beauty as nature's playground for adrenaline junkies like Hans Grage.
