SKI MOVIE COMPLETED
Dick Barrymore of Barrymore Productions,
Huntington Eeach, Calif*, headed a group of
five men into the high snow fields of the j
Wrangell Mts. recently. Their purpose was
to make a ski movie of skiing in the high
perpetual snowfields where it had never
been done before.
iack Wilson, local bush pilot agreed to pick
a good spot for them after finding out what
their needs were. He decided that the di
vide between Copper and Nabesna Glaciers
would be the safest and probably the best
all around area for their purpose. He was
assisted by Gene Huber, an experienced
mountaineer and one of the party members.
Together they picked routes free of ice
crevasses and with the powder snow which
is desired by skiers.
The party camped at the top of Copper Gla-e
cier at 9,500 feet elevation on May 16th.
Then for three days they had the time of
their lives with sunny weather and blue
skies • Jack flew them one at a time up
onto the higher mountains. Then, with ev
erything all set, the group would ski down
the mountain while it was all filmed by
Mr. Barrymore. Three of the men were flown
clear to the top of Mt. Wrangell at 14,000
feet and skied down to the base camp from
there. Altogether, a total of 36 landings
were made in different loca tions-to assist
the party.
Barrymore films movies of like nature all
over the world wherever there is good ski
ing. He then shows the movies wherever
ski enthusiasts congregate/*
