Photographs depicting aerial views of mountains (mostly Whistler Mountain), people skiing, heli-skiing, the gondola, and people relaxing on the mountain. These photos were most likely taken during scouting trips by Franz Wilhelmsen to plan the ski resort, as well as the first open season of the ski resort.
