These two prints (A, B) from the same negative show Alta Lake in the winter time, with several people and dogs on the frozen surface of the lake. In the foreground is a woman (possibly Myrtle?) and two dogs identified as Myrtle's dogs Skookum (collie) and Kii. In the deep background is another dog and two other people.
This photograph shows a group of three people skating on the frozen surface of Alta Lake. From left to right they are: Myrtle Philip, James Butterfield, and Anne Philip.
These two photographs show Myrtle Philip skating on a frozen Alta Lake. In the first one (A), she looks out into the distance, and is farther from the lens. The second print (B), shows her at a closer distance, looking into the lens of the camera. Both photographs are taken looking to the North.
This photograph was taken from Myrtle's cottage, looking out toward Alta Lake. The building near the water is Cypress Lodge, which today is the International Hostel, or HI Whistler.
Annotation on the reverse of the photograph reads, "Myrtle's zero weather Xmas 1968. Rhi and I were up for a few days before Xmas."
This photograph shows Mariah Philip and Myrtle Philip dressed in winter clothing with what appear to be hiking poles on the porch of Myrtle's house on Alta Lake.
