CaptionSnoqualmie Ski Bowl operated from 1937-1942. After the war it reopened in 1946 as Milwaukee Ski Bowl so as not to be confused with Snoqualmie Summit ski area. The area boasted the first lift service on Snoqualmie Pass and the largest ski jump in North America. This ski jumper might have been competing to enter the Olympic ski jump trials hosted at the area on March 22-23, 1947.
