I have a postcard with all of the group. My Dad is about 8 years old on the picture. In fact, there was a ski jump and we could see from the house when the skiers used the jump because they would go down the hill in front and up the hill on the other side. I inspected the jump when I was about 14 and it was rotted but it really was quite high and being on the hill gave the skiers a could run. Also, Lloyd Ellingson, Colfax, represented the United States in ski jumping competition during the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, NY in February 1932.
