Description
This photo was taken in 1945, though what month is unknown. What this means though is that World War II was either still ongoing, or not long finished.
Either way, thoughts and emotions brought by war would have been front and centre in the minds of Vancouver residents. Skiing across a winter wonderland must have been good for the soul and a chance to escape the wartime stressors.
