Goodly morning all...

One of the pictures shows a ski bike which dates back prior to the 1900s.

They were quite popular in our area at one time...only good for going downhill and rather useless for cross country...

Ice Boating is much more popular than skibobbing or tobogganing now mainly because one has to walk back up the hill pulling the ski bike or toboggan behind them...
You could see skaters pulling children on toboggans on the frozen waterways...still quite popular...

Strange to see the Army clearing snow...what happened to putting the unemployed to work

Guess they did not have snow plows for the front of the railroad engines like here in Canada...

Columbia. Site of one of the worst fatal train related avalanches. 1910 Roger Pass Avalanche (Mid Page)

Thanks BLAZE...much appreciated for the reply and Link...
