EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from February 8,1936, we are transported back in time to witness a thrilling moment of challenge and competition. The image captures Rupert Edwards, a skillful athlete from Banff, Alberta, executing a daring gelandesprung at Simpson Pass in Mount Norquay. With vintage charm emanating from every detail, the photograph showcases the true essence of competitive sports in the thirties. As Edwards defies gravity with his impressive jump, one can't help but feel the energy and exertion radiating through the monochromatic frame. Surrounded by breathtaking snowy landscapes characteristic of Canada's North America region, this historic snapshot encapsulates both physical prowess and sheer determination. The presence of other athletes in the background adds depth to the scene while emphasizing that skiing was not just an individual activity but also a communal endeavor. Their ski poles firmly planted on the ground serve as reminders of their shared passion for outdoor recreation during this era. Preserved by Underwood Archives and made available through Universal Images Group (UIG), this remarkable piece invites us to appreciate not only Edward's athletic abilities but also serves as a testament to how sports have evolved over time. It stands as a timeless reminder that challenges were faced head-on even decades ago when competing against nature itself required immense effort and unwavering dedication.
