The following are some ideas for future research.
An important part of the project is to interview ski mountaineers
past and present. I divide these into two groups: persons active
before 1965 and persons active after 1965. My first priority is
to talk to skiers and mountaineers in the first group. Then I
will turn my attention to the latter group.

I've reviewed most of the books I've collected.
(See bibliography.)
Eventually, I may review lower-priority books.
(See hold list.)

I've reviewed thousands of pages of periodicals from the early
1900s to the present time.

The following (lower priority) periodicals may also contain
useful information:
-
B.C. Mountaineering
(try Mountaineers or BCMC)
-
Sierra Club Bulletin
(available at TPL)
-
The Mazama
(available at Mountaineers)
-
Western Skier (repository unknown)
I've reviewed records of the Mountaineers (Seattle), the
Cascadians (Yakima), the Mt Baker Club (Bellingham), and the
Alpine Roamers (Wenatchee). I haven't been able to find records
from the Washington Alpine Club (Seattle), although I know its
members were active in ski mountaineering in the 1930s. Other
clubs to contact for records include:
- B.C. Mountaineering Club (Vancouver)
- Olympians Hiking Club (Grays Harbor)
- Olympic Ski Club (Port Angeles)
- Yakima Ski Club (Yakima)
Special collections include manuscripts, scrapbooks, photo
albums, journals, and clippings files. For a list of
collections I've found,
click here.
These are some of the best sources and I'm continually
looking for more collections to review.
Other sources that may be of interest include:
- U.S. Forest Service (history of forest roads, cabins and pioneer
residents)
- Washington State Highway Department (history of pass highways)
